Total days: 4 days
Period: September, 2-5 2021 (Thursday – Sunday)
Hospice Bike Tour is an annual event, which strives to bring together cycling lovers who wish to do sports while supporting a great cause. Thus, every participant is invited to get on his bike and explore more than 400 km through the beautiful and varied countryside alongside collecting 500 EUR to support people living with incurable illness in the Republic of Moldova.
The main goal of the event is to raise funds to support the development of free palliative care services. This year our goal is 30 000 euro, which is vital for developing and extending free palliative services provided by the mobile units as part of the Hospices of Hope Moldova network in the regions of Orhei, Soroca, Taraclia and Ocnita.

This much awaited 6th edition of the #HospiceBikeTour will take place September, 2-5 2021. This year we will share 4 unforgettable days of cycling the beautiful lanes and sweeping hills of Moldova.

We will head South on a circular route having the form of a fish, which is symbolic in many religions and cultures, including christianity.
