GOAL:
The main goal of Cycle Europe 2022 is to raise funds to purchase medical equipment for hospices. We will personally deliver some of the equipment during the ride. This year we will also support Ukrainian refugee with terminal illnesses who have arrived at the hospice in Elblag. The link below provides a description of the Elblag hospice (one of the many that we are supporting) together with a list of equipment donated by the Alina Foundation during over 10 years of our activities: Elblag HOW YOU CAN HELP: Participants pay all costs of taking part in the ride themselves or through sponsors (in my case, Sopra Steria Poland).
