On May 7, Hospices of Hope Moldova presented the route for the 7th edition of the charity cycling event #HospiceBikeTour. The event brought together registered participants and cyclists interested in the bicycle charity race, sponsors, partners and representatives of the diplomatic corps.
The organizers presented the route and the agenda for the 4 days of cycling, as well as provided instructions on the possibilities of donation. The event partners offered masterclasses for participants, namely training recommendations, recovery exercises during and after the race, nutritionist recommendations.
The #HospiceBikeTour 2022 race will take place between June 23-26, where about 30 cyclists will pedal from Chisinau to Mangalia. This year each participant has 2 challenges, to cycle 500 km in 4 days, but also to collect 500 EUR through a personal fundraising campaign. The traditional race is dedicated to the beneficiaries of Hospices of Hope Moldova, the 200 incurable patients who benefit from free palliative care services.
Lara Moraru, Executive Director of Hospices of Hope Moldova, said that this year the goal is to raise money for the Palliative Care Day Center in Orhei, which will provide various medical and psychological services as well as occupational therapies for the patients.
The representative of the Embassy of Ukraine, Serhei Gumeniuc, welcomed the initiative of the organizers and expressed gratitude for the fact that the doors of the center will be open also for Ukrainian refugees. Donations can be made through the DONATE NOW button on the Hospices of Hope Moldova website.
