Building Hope Together – an event dedicated to solidarity and the future of palliative care in the Republic of Moldova
The “Building Hope Together” event represented an important moment of solidarity, reflection, and shared commitment to the development of palliative care services in the Republic of Moldova. The initiative brought together partners, supporters, and representatives of the diplomatic and civic community, united by a common vision: creating a more humane, accessible, and dignified care system for patients and their families.
The evening was hosted by Her Excellency, the Ambassador of the United Kingdom to the Republic of Moldova, Ms. Fern Horine, to whom we extend our sincere gratitude for her openness, engagement, and continuous support for this vital cause. Her Excellency’s presence and support highlighted the importance of international cooperation in developing projects with lasting social impact.
We also had the honour of welcoming Ms. Anna Perolls, CEO of Hospices of Hope UK, whose visit represented a meaningful gesture of support and encouragement for our mission.
The event provided an opportunity to present the progress achieved to date in the development of the future Hospices of Hope Moldova Palliative Care Hospital, as well as the next stages and objectives ahead. This project remains a profound commitment to patients who need support, comfort, and dignity in the most difficult moments of life.
We extend our special thanks to all partners and supporters who contributed to the success of this event and to the advancement of our mission:

Day 3 of Hospice Bike Tour was not at all as we expected. Strong wind, flat tires, technical problems, and a route that seemed endless — it was one of the hardest and most demanding stages of the 2026 edition. Exactly when we thought the hills were over, others appeared one after another.
Day 2 – ORHEI → SOROCA (15 May 2026)
The second day of Hospice Bike Tour 2026 brought a higher level of difficulty, both through the distance and the diversity of the terrain covered.
After leaving the Orhei region, the cyclists continued the route towards the north of the country, crossing rural localities and roads that tested the physical endurance, but also the concentration of each participant.
