Do sports and donate
Sport is an excellent way how to improve and strengthen your health, so we are very pleased that assistance for little patients of the Children’s Hospital is organised within the sports events! This not only allows to get specific things which are necessary to improve the health of children, but also gives a great example to children showing that sport is healthy, interesting and exciting!

Charity cycle race
Bored of Borders Pedals for no medals in 2014 organized a massive cycle race to Latvian Olympians at the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi - supporting the Children's Hospital Haemato Oncology Department! During the entire adventure from Riga to Sochi, the cyclists were bringing the Children's Hospital patients' drawings and good wishes for the Latvian Olympic team. Length of the distance: 2802 km (~165 km per day) travelling through five countries (Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Russia). The desire of the cyclists, in addition to the adventure, is to do a good job — to invite people to donate to the Children's Hospital.
Responding to the charity's call for assistance in the reconstruction of the Haemato Oncology Department, EUR 5527.38 were donated!
