Ukrainian professional cyclist Mark Padun is launching a collection of NFTs to support Ukrainian relief charities. Designed by Project Fuerza artist Facundo Kostelak, the nine NFTs contain Ukrainian flag colours. In the ‘Carry the Load’ collection, 25% of the proceeds will go towards the Ukrainian medical help relief fund.

Racing for EF Education-EasyPost, Mark Padun has raced in some of the world’s biggest cycling events. Along with highlighting the struggles in Ukraine, the Mark Padun NFT collection reflects his achievements. One is a reference to his stage seven win at the 2021 Critérium du Dauphiné.
Mark Padun is from the region of Donetsk in Ukraine, which has seen conflict for almost eight years. However, in February, Russia attempted to invade Ukraine fully, and now the two countries are at war.
