On Saturday, May 20th, Hospices of Hope Moldova kicked off the eighth edition of the charitable cycling race, #HospiceBikeTour2023, with a launch event held at the "Centrul Speranței" Day Center in Chișinău. The primary goal of this charitable event is to raise funds to support patients in terminal stages and their families.

At the launch event, participating cyclists, event sponsors, and representatives from Hospices of Hope Moldova had the opportunity to interact before the cyclists set off towards the "Aripile Speranței" Day Center in Orhei, highlighting their commitment to the cause.

"We are thrilled to start the eighth edition of #HospicesBikeTour and to see such great support from the community," said Veronica Dragnev-Sacara, representative of Hospices of Hope Moldova. "This charity race is essential for raising the funds needed to continue our care and support services for terminally ill patients and their families.

Hospice Bike Tour is an annual event dedicated to cycling enthusiasts who wish to combine sports with a noble cause. Each participant, besides the challenge of covering over 750 km in 5 days, is challenged to raise 500 EUR for incurable patients from various regions of the Republic of Moldova. The main goal of the event is to collect funds to support the development of free palliative care services. The eighth edition of the Hospice Bike Tour will take place from June 27th to July 1st, 2023, cycling towards Hospice Casa Sperantei in Adunații-Copăceni, Bucharest.
