A group of Serbian cyclists will begin a humanitarian journey on June 20, cycling from Kragujevac to the Monastery of Hilandar on Mount Athos. The "Give a Pedal to Cancer from Serbia to Hilandar" initiative aims to collect donations for the Women's Center "Milica," an organization dedicated to supporting women diagnosed with breast and gynecological cancers. The mission is organized by physical education teacher Nemanja Lukoviฤ, civil engineer Aleksandar Radomiroviฤ, and software engineer Jovan Jerotijeviฤ, who will be the primary participants. Their route includes stops in Niลก, Prohor Pฤinjski Monastery, Lake Dojran, Stavros, and Uranopolis, with designated points for public donations. The cyclists plan to return to Serbia on June 28 after reaching their destination. Over the past three years, the "Milica" center has provided free support to over 3,000 women and their families, offering expert advice, preparation for therapies, and resources like wigs and treatment guides. The center encourages public and corporate support for this initiative to ensure continued assistance for affected women and their families.
The goal of the ride is to collect donations for the further work of the Center for support of oncological patients who are fighting these difficult diseases.
