Joe "BigMac" McDonald is a British veteran who's been serving on the front lines in Ukraine since early 2022. He's also been a part of the TC200 team for almost as long! Currently stationed in the Kherson Oblast, BigMac is a drone pilot and sapper (bombmaker) in the UAV Company "Limbo", 196th Battalion, 124th Marine Brigade, 30th Marine Corps.

We’ve had the privilege of working with BigMac on several projects (outside of TopCargo200) since the first year of the war. We've seen his genuine love for the Ukrainian people, and his willingness to put his own life on the line to defend theirs.

What many people don't realize is that even as part of a marine unit, much of the equipment and supplies these volunteers use are self-funded. Ear/eye protection, scopes, cabling, tools, and even drones have to be bought with their own money.

We encourage our readers to support BigMac with donations whenever possible, while he works to support Ukrainian freedom, and add a few more names to our list!

You can add a note like "via TC200" if you'd like him to know the donation reached him from his friends in the TopCargo200 community.
