213 KM / 4500 m by Rekola bike riding to Klinovec and Ještěd Road Classics monuments! Sacrifice = Reward for Palliative Care :)
Share:
This year, I'll join the Road Classics competitions in Klinovec and Ještěd for a great cause. There would be in total 213 km with +4500m altitude gain to be ridden by Rekola bike sharing, all in support and to raise funds and awareness for Palliative Care for the terminally ill and their families.
I believe all of us as humans make sacrifices or put in extreme efforts at some point for a dream, a passion, or for our loved ones. Who hasn't done it right? This year, I'd like to put my effort into supporting a noble cause. Palliative care for the terminally ill and their families.
I'll be cycling as a companion of Domestici.cz, a total of 213 KM /+4500 m by Rekola bike share over the two competitions organized by Road Classics in Klinovec and Ještěd. Doesn't sound quite challenging? Maybe, but if you ride a 17Kg bike with only 3 gears uphill, you'll understand that it's not that easy. Therefore, any contribution you could kindly make will be a great support for Palliative Care in CZ, and additionally will compensate for the litter of sweat I'll leave on those roads with the purpose of creating awareness and helping to transform the way we die in the Czech Republic.
Palliative care empowers people to face death without fear, to embrace dignity in their final chapter, and to discover the freedom to live more fully, right up to the very end.
Where your support goes:
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 provides education and information, essential for good end-of-life care to become commonplace.
Thank you for your generous donation — your support brings comfort, dignity, and peace to those facing life’s final journey.
Luis Barrera
Domestici.cz Ambassador,
domestici pro pomoc druhým z.s.
In cycling, domestiques are team members whose role is to support their leader and help them reach the finish line in the best possible shape.
Domestici.cz is a project that connects active people with the topic of palliative care — so that they can support their loved ones while they still have the strength, and contribute to the development of palliative care, which sooner or later, most of us may need.
Life should remain meaningful and dignified until the very last second. That’s what palliative care is here for. We’ve made our dream come true – together, we’ve raised over 10 million Czech crowns to support this challenging yet deeply human cause that can touch any of us. And this is just the beginning!
Domestici.cz = support for Palliative Care in the Czech Republic
In June 2024, Martin Souček and Tomáš Navrátil stood at the starting line of one of the world’s toughest ultracycling races. After 8 days, 8 hours, and 23 minutes, they crossed the finish line, having ridden exactly 4,936 kilometers.
A race like that is impossible to finish without domestiques — those who ride in support of the leader, offering help and strength in the toughest moments.
And that's exactly who we’re looking for now: domestiques for palliative care.
Your donations will go directly to support outstanding non-profit organizations: the Forum of Mobile Hospices, the Center for Palliative Care, and chosen hospices across the country.
Together, we hope to ensure that as many people as possible — whether our loved ones or strangers — can live their final days with dignity and quality of life. Palliative care is not about curing at all costs. It’s about making sure that when the end comes, it happens in the way the person themselves would wish.
Become a domestique. Join us — and give.
