Members of the Recreational Quartet association are setting off on their journey from Zagreb's Špansk to Vukova again this year. This marks the sixth edition of this charity ride, with participants setting off on 17 and 18 November.
The daytime group sets off on 17 November at 7:00, while the night group starts at 00:01 on 18 November. Both groups gather and set off from the parking lot of the Špansko Health Centre. The column will travel a route of approximately 325 kilometres, with an organized escort throughout the journey. Longer breaks are scheduled in Kutina and Slavonski Brod.
This year's goal is to raise €70,000 for a ramp for wheelchairs and support for the Vukovar Little Butterflies association. This association brings together parents of children with developmental disabilities, and the funds are intended for concrete assistance in the daily functioning of families.
The campaign is supported by 49 schools from 17 counties. Students at these schools will be creating butterflies and messages of support on the same days, thus involving the youngest in the charitable aspect of the ride. Among the participating schools are the primary schools Monte Zaro and Vidikovac in Pula.
Donations can be made via the 'Do the Right Thing' platform. During the ride, the column can be followed live on the website spanskozavukovar.com/uzivo, allowing those not on the route to participate in the event.
