8 Days for Palliative Care

Veronika Hájková

800 kilometers, 17 hospices, 8 days and 8 hours. And one powerful story about the courage to live fully in the face of serious illness. 🌸

🚴‍♀️ Zorka Šťastná, a 46-year-old woman receiving palliative care, is preparing to take on the ride of her life starting June 7, 2025. In a relay with her daughters and supported by the Domestici team, she will cycle across the Czech Republic — from west to east, from Cheb to Třinec — in just eight days. Along the way, they will stop at 17 hospices. 🚴‍♂️

Join us! Watch life tracking, come to a local event

Track the ride online at www.8dni.cz – you’ll find daily updates from the road, stories from hospices along the route, and the current status of the fundraising campaign.

Want to get involved in a fun way? As part of your donation, you can generate your own personalized cycling jersey or a sign with a message for our small peloton. We’ll create images for you to share on social media – a great way to spread the word that June is for supporting palliative care!

Along the route, several local community events will take place – with music, activities, and a chance to support the idea of dignified care until the end of life. A major public event with a concert by Marie Tilšarová will take place in Beroun, and another big gathering in Prague will feature a performance by singer Tali, presentations from three local palliative care providers, and a rich accompanying program.
