time to stroll to keep together. they've been on duty since the very 1st day of the war. this time it's like to return completely to the time before war. i could see old change a section with happens to keep, but i seen feel like eating you after a few months since the beginning of war. so much much is for elizabeth is good to have a place where you could return from the frontline and understand that it's quite useful. we 1st met the couple a few weeks before rushes full scale invasion. marta and sir he had just joined ukraine's territorial defense forces, a military reserve of the countries on forces. few members had previous military

experience. marta and sir he didn't either. they got training once a week in the very basics of combat. the other one for all the stuff that you couldn't, we just zeal in the movie. so as of the common doris, you know, they seemed very simple. but in general, when you started to do it, it's quite difficult because you need to know how to do it. correctly or not to be inventive for yourself and for your colleagues. so quite humble, the skills, very basic, but very important skill. at that time, the territorial defense forces were intended to support the military in case of war, but mainly behind the front lines. at checkpoints, for instance, a year ago nobody knew whether or not russia would actually invade. but if war did

come, marta knew she wanted to be prepared for that it's difficult to explain to foreign this why via a exactly know what to expect from russia. but if you happen to know history many, many times they just physically destroy all routes of differing as martin did not consider herself the adventurous type. before the war she'd been living an ordinary low key life. she had a house just outside cheve, a garden, and some pets. after studying medicine martyr was supervising studies for international pharmaceutical companies from home, but she sense that the tranquillity wouldn't last. it's almost impossible to imagine what will happen if i have to leave it. if i have to just say fight and it will been destroyed, it's good happens. i am trying to be ready for this because it's still how to same . definitely i don't want to preserve was, is

a on the price of being live on to occupation. damn, that's close. more came much faster than expected for the pair was part of the defense forces. as soon as the war began with russian troops swiftly advancing on keep, their hometown became a war zone. sir, he was fighting in the trenches by march. i served as a medic and a 1st aid station with you. yes. city is the, is it these days the territorial defense force is no longer stay well behind the front lines. they become active combat units and are deployed to some of the most perilous sections of the front blue

marta and sir he were both recently at the fiercely contested don bus front a i am still afraid of edison because this is a little bit below. i mean, not a little bit to is far more advanced than this. i'm still afraid, but what's already happened when i know that they have to go there, you know, i just could go otherwise. i would never go back with me now for the 1st time, but couple has some time off together pretty quick to hold as 3. i was

not really up to me to come to trust months for, for bar. i have a feeling that he losing between is was big problem because difficult to move from yours from supervision. but i only see how are me became stronger and they are really prone to see this but as they walk around their home town, which for now is more or less peaceful. they come across reminders of the war. in the center of kiva, the authorities have had wreckage of russian tanks on display. but the 2 have already seen plenty of those. the hypothetical situation they started preparing for over a year ago became a deadly and all too bitter reality. his mother begged him not to ride a motorcycle, but italian vanny. oh dera,

couldn't ignore his calling and following his heart has paid off. oh, dara has enjoyed great success in the world of freestyle ludicrous. he tours the globe on his bike delighting fans with stunts and acrobatic jumps. and oh, there is calling goes beyond competing and winning titles. he also uses his talent to bring joy to sick children a day in the life of motorcross freestyle champion vanny odessa. in the gloria ah, look as i want the valet the beauty of this sport is that even the richest person in the world can't by the feeling you get walking in the sky next to your bike. ah. but it's not all back flips in the sky. vanny odette as we'll take him to all kinds of places like this

hospital in genoa. ah, danny's motorcross journeys started in 2002. he soon turned his passion into a profession and is now one of the most successful doors in the industry. his $200.00 horsepower bikes, these him soaring up to 15 meters off the ground, but he's always afraid he says, of it. if our water of fear is what drives you to push on eagle also, but of course it's very dangerous off, but the more you train and the more you jump on, the less grist water actually is on. but i'm off the bite, becomes something like a 3rd leg blue. his talent brought him fame, money, success and tournaments from brazil to russia. then one day, a taxi ride after a when in moscow changed everything. oh, succeed you straight away. i noticed a strong smell of urine as the ha,

i snapped at the driver to hurry up and quickly take me to my destination. you'd equal that often. i looked into his eyes and saw a man like me. but he was missing his legs and he was sitting there in his own urine from bank of america. and we're us in to city, let him in social and from then on. vanny began to help others. well, donald de la these, i gave the driver all the prize money and went up to my hotel, ashamed of myself. but often i thought about what i could do to help the world on the top. and that's how he got the idea for motorcycle therapy in october was to face the idea was to share my time and passion with others. i rang up associations and people with disabilities and talked about my project because i guess shorter they loved it. and so i invited them to tournament, he saw in italy with a can and a brock and put on a navy in asia. really got a kind of a funny you know,

really thought to pretty well. this is genoa on a wednesday morning, vanny and his friend, my tail viet kabuki, are preparing to visit a children's hospital in goth, lini. they've been dropping into clinics since 2014. 0, it's like hitch. i gave her all these rather so regular. go with beauty and pick a gift. i did a review and now it's his turn. he's never been on a murder back before. i know what i needed. what hold on tight off. we go. see some of them underneath with luckily or electric motorcycle. so the kids and hospital can enjoy them too for why we want to make this place into a big circuits. because kids should be able to feel like kids, even in a hospital. my like patients 24 young patients are waiting for vanny and his motorcycle in the cancer ward to he comes by twice a month. 2 with me, what's your name?

i g r g. okay. oh, watch the tube. guess what? the 20123. go with drive slowly. with ah, well, i never thought the motorcycle could move so fast enough. i could feel my skin my body. then i thought that the door ahead wasn't breaking, and then he made the spectacular stop. it was fantastic. from thought fanny's visits give the little patience feelings of joy and the hope that they'll see each other again soon. for the next slide. is there something you would like to preserve for future generations, a memoir or
