ALPS DIVIDE - 1,000 Racing Kilometers for Palliative Care (DOMESTICI)
Share:
My name is Aleš Zavoral and for the past few years, I have been participating in unsupported long-distance cycling races. This year, as my main race of the season, I will take part in the new extreme off-road race Alps Divide, where I will ride 1,000 kilometers and climb 32,000 meters across the alpine passes of France, Italy, and Switzerland, all without any external support. On this occasion, I would like not only to push my physical limits but also to support an important cause—palliative care in the Czech Republic.
My goal is to raise 100,000 CZK, which means 100 CZK for every kilometer I ride. All the funds raised will be donated to support palliative care through the DOMESTICI project.
Palliative care is invaluable in ensuring a dignified life for patients with serious illnesses and in supporting their families. It helps not only to alleviate physical pain but also to provide psychological and emotional support. I believe that every kilometer I ride can contribute to ensuring that those who need it most receive the care they deserve and can spend the final stages of their lives at home, surrounded by their family, rather than in hospitals.
Support me on this journey and help change the lives of people who are going through the most challenging moments of their lives. Join me as a fellow Domestici and contribute any amount. Thanks to the Vlček family, who are supporting the Domestici project, your donated amount will be doubled. I sincerely thank you in advance for your contributions to support palliative care!
All the donations will be distributed among organizations that focus on palliative care and are advancing it in the Czech Republic, specifically:
Hospice of Saint Lazarus, which helps people at the end of their lives in the Pilsen region.
Mobile Hospice Forum, which is working to make palliative care more accessible in other regions of the Czech Republic.
Palliative Care Center, which provides education and awareness, essential for making a good end of life a common reality.
The Alps Divide race starts on Saturday, September 7, 2024, at 4:00 PM in the French town of Menton near Monaco, and finishes on the other side of the Alps by Lake Geneva.
You can follow the live progress of the race and my efforts directly on the Alps Divide website. I will also try to share my preparations and the progress of the race on my social media: Instagram, Facebook and Strava

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!
How exactly will your donations help?
I created the Domestici.cz project and joined forces with the Via Foundation, which established the Domestici donor fund and a public collection for the development of palliative care in the Czech Republic. All funds raised will be distributed among great organizations dedicated to palliative care and advancing it in the Czech Republic. Your 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.
