Making this project is harder than I ever imagined to be. But I'm glad that I begin and hopefully God will help me to finish it.
At first step I entered in contact with the Romanian Hemophilia Association and the Romanian Red Cross, then with the Bulgarian, Turkish, Hungarian Hemophilia Associations, after that with the World Federation of Hemophilia too. They approved my action.
I shall go not only in the name of my Covasna County Section, but in the name of the Romanian Hemophilia Association! Their moral support and the others' means a lot for me.
Now we are at the second step, which is fund raising and beginning the campaign in the media.
We started with a press conference:

Our local TV was there too, and Radio Targu Mures, a regional radio, mentioned the project in the news too. I think that we started a good campaign in the media.
We are at the beginning of the fund rising.
We have to move fast!

New project: Help for hemophilia!
1. Objectives :
I shall go on a bike to the WFH Congress which will be held next year in Istanbul. The Romanian Hemophilia Association through this action wants to focus the public attention on hemophilia and to talk about our problems. I shall do 1089km in 14 days.
2. Justification
My younger son, Daniel has got severe hemophilia. He was diagnosed at the age of 1. Since then we faced with many problems through which I understood that I can’t manage alone Daniel’s situation. But after we entered in the association I realized that not only we have difficulties, that there are people who are in even worse situation. That’s why I decided to do this trip not only for my son, but for the whole hemophilia community.
3. Activities
During my trip I shall stop in each important town, no matter if it’s Romanian, Bulgarian or Turkish. There I shall meet the local hemophila associations and the local media too. Once arrived there in the name of our association I want to get in contact with other similar organizations to build common actions and develop a partner relationship over the medium to long term.
4. Duration and plan of action
I shall do 1089km in 14 days.
18 May start from Sfantu Gheorghe to Brasov 32 km
19 May Brasov-Pitesti (via Bran) 133 km
20 May Pitesti-Bucuresti 113 km (via Leordeni, Titu)

.
5. Expected impact:
My goal is:
- to raise broad awareness of hemophilia not only in my country, but in other countries too.
- to show an alternative to people about how they can involve to help
-to provide fresh ideas and strategies for the youth about how they can spend their free time
6. Target group:
-Ministry of Health
- officials
- medical staff
- media
- ordinary people
7. Results:
-better medical assistance
- more medical products for treatment (an ordinary patient with severe haemophilia receives each month 1 dose monthly!)

Winter training? Nordic Walking!
I started the training for Istanbul since the 15th of November 2007. Here, in ST. George we have a great winter, full with snow, but completely inappropriate for biking. Luckily I stay very close to the forest, so that I started to practice Nordic Walking. I do 4 sessions/week and 7-8 km each time. First I go to the spring, which is nearby the forest. Then with 3 bottles of spring water in my rucksack I start climbing up and down the mountains.
Here are some photos about my training route http://picasaweb.google.hu/kkisslaci/Jan23erdo?authkey=ZDpz7-y_FQ8
