As I was born in Brno I'm a long term fan of ice hockey club Kometa Brno. This is a lifelong bond for me and even though I've been living in Prague for more than ten years, no other ice hockey team stands a chance with me. That's why I promised to myself in March 2017 before the play off start that if Kometa wins the title after decades I have to celebrate it with something big. And because I like hiking, I came up with the idea of marching from Prague to Brno to the ice hockey arena. I managed to fulfill this commitment in September 2017 (for more details see https://www.darujme.cz/vyzva/1200251).
 
 This year Kometa won again, thus becoming historically the most successful ice hockey team in the Czech republic in terms of number of titles. That's worth celebration as well, right! That's why I decided this year for perhaps even more difficult challenge. To hike from Třinec (the rival team in the finals) to Brno. And in order not to walk just for pleasure (and not to sell myself that cheap :-)), after the great experience I had last year I decided to create another charity project, this time in favour of children's hospice Dům pro Julii (A House for Juliet). It is the first children's hospice in the Czech republic. It's purpose is to support families with taking care of incurable children. If there are only couple of more steps on the kid's life path, the hospice intends to make them as pleasant as possible. The profit from this fundraising campaign will be used to support their project For a while just being a parent. For every raised Czech crown I will add next 0,25 CZK from my pocket up to 5000 CZK. So make me pay for it ;-). The more money is raised the more kids will get support by House for Juliet, so don't take the target amount too seriously :-).

I plan to march during the third week in September 2018. Walking the touristic paths the total distance should be around 250 km. My ambition is to make it in 5 days. The advantage is I will hike through Beskydy, a beautiful mountain range, on the other hand I will have to cope with total elevation difference of more than 7 km. I will start on Tuesday 18th Sep and follow the route Třinec - Bílá - Vsetín - Malenovice - Napajedla - Vyškov - Brno. The plan is to finish on Sat 22nd in the evening. I will publish details of my journey on my Facebook
