Hello everyone,

Tomorrow, 21 April 2025, I’m continuing my cycling trip! I set off from Athens 🇬🇷 on 30 March 2025, and my destination is Balingen 🇩🇪. I’ll arrive there in 26 days – I currently have 400 kilometres left to go. This marks the end of a little dream for me. I’m happy and grateful to have had all the incredible adventures and experiences on this journey.

For the final kilometres, I have launched a fundraising campaign to support a fantastic project: the Emmi Foundation 🫶, which supports people with neurological conditions. https://www.emmi-stiftung.de/

My local club, SV Heselwangen 1906 e.V., is organising a charity match against SpVgg Mössingen 1904 e.V. on 9 May 2025. All proceeds will go to the Emmi Foundation – a wonderful cause that I’m happy to support with my campaign.

My fundraising target?!

The distance from Athens to Balingen is a total of 2,600 km. Can we manage to raise this amount in donations? 🙌🏼🙏 If so, I’ll add my longest daily stage of 205.17 km on top – in euros! The total amount raised will be handed over on 9 May 2025 at the charity match in Heselwangen.

I was really delighted that you accompanied me on my cycling journey. Your many messages along the way were an incredible source of support. I would be delighted if you could support my fundraising campaign with a small contribution.

Finally, I’d like to warmly invite you all: come to Heselwangen on 9 May 2025 for the charity match! ⚽️🫶

The fundraising campaign runs until 8 May 2025

Yours, Georg alias Hackel 😉
