Join the ride and donate 1 USD for every mile to support palliative care in Czechia!
We are taking part in the Bike Challenge to celebrate Czech Independence Day. Let's make our rides even more meaningful this year and support human dignity and independence! Donate $1 for every mile ridden to support palliative care in Czechia!
We´ve decided to connect this year's Bike Challenge with the Domestici charity project (Domestici = domestiques, riders who support another rider to the finish). Its founder, Martin Souček, cycled across the USA in 8 days in the Race Across America with the intention of raising $500 000 to support palliative care in Czechia. Together with Tomas Navratil, they crossed 3,000 miles from the west coast to the east coast. They put themselves at the centre of a team of domestiques who share a common goal - to get the racer to the finish line in the best physical and mental condition possible. It is a similar task to that of relatives of the seriously ill and dying - to accompany their loved ones to the finish line.
We would like to join Martin´s mission and celebrate independence by enabling people in Czechia to live independent and dignified lives to the end. Become one of the “domestiques” and join the incredible adventure of helping.
Make your ride meaningful
Life should be of quality and dignity until the very end, because every moment matters. That's why palliative care is here. Our goal is to raise 5000 USD, 1 % of the target amount, to show our concern about this challenging aspect of life and help to change the way people die in Czechia.
All funds raised will be distributed among great organizations dedicated to palliative care and advancing it in the Czech Republic. Donations will be distributed among:
Hospice of Saint Lazarus, helping people at the end of life in the Pilsen region.
The Mobile Hospices Forum, making palliative care more accessible in other regions of the Czech Republic.
The Center for Palliative Care providing education and information, essential for a good end to become commonplace.
Join the domestiques' peloton.

DOMESTICI.CZ | Martin Soucek | For a Dignified End of Life
Nadace Via
We will ride 5,000 kilometers on a bicycle from the west to the east coast of the USA to support the development of palliative care in the Czech Republic together. I have positioned myself at the center of a team of domestiques who share a common goal – to get the racer to the finish line in the best physical and mental condition possible. This task is similar to that of the relatives of the severely ill and dying – to accompany their loved ones to the end. Become one of the domestiques and join this incredible adventure of helping.
Life should be of quality and dignity until the last second. That's why palliative care is here. My dream is that together we will manage to raise 10 million CZK for this challenging aspect of life, which concerns each of us.
Domestici.cz = 10 million for palliative care, making the journey meaningful.
We will ride in a relay with Tomáš Navrátil in one of the toughest ultra-cycling races in the world: 5,000 kilometers in a mere 9-day limit. A race that cannot be managed without domestiques, those who help the racer reach the finish line. And it is these helpers, domestiques for palliative care, that I am looking for. Therefore, all your donations will be distributed for the direct support of palliative care in the Czech Republic. We will help a specific hospice, support the provision of mobile hospice care in regions, and invest in awareness, which is extremely important. I wish that together we ensure a quality and dignified life until the last moment for as many people as possible. Whether they are our loved ones or people we don't even know. Palliative care is not here to cure the patient at all costs, but to ensure that their departure is as they would have wished. I wish everyone such a departure. This is how I would like to leave one day. Become a domestique - join and donate.
Across America for Palliative Care!
5,000 km, 9 days, 24 hours in the saddle daily, and at least 555 km underfoot, a community of hundreds and thousands of generous people who think of others. Thank you for becoming a domestique of palliative care and for joining us!
