Satisfying the thirst for adventure with a sporting challenge and all for a good cause - I can't imagine a better combination!

It's motivating to support a humanitarian project based on direct collaboration with the people on the ground in Ethiopia. I'm interested in discovering the reality of a country I'm not familiar with, and in providing concrete support and hope to the local population through a sustainable improvement in medical care. Thank you in advance for your support. Less

CHF

Back in Switzerland, after a year of travelling the world, I had the desire to do something for others. So when I had the opportunity to take part in this extraordinary humanitarian experience: cycling over 1000 km through Ethiopia for a noble cause, I didn't hesitate for long. I love madness! 😊🌍❤️ Less

My motivation is to support Jörg Peltzer in the realization of his project, that we as a group and I make a substantial contribution to improving the situation of people in great need in Ethiopia. For 7 years I've been dreaming about joining this tour and making a difference in other peoples life and my life.

I already had the opportunity to participate in both the Bike Tour 2012 and 2016. I can not miss this new adventure! It will undoubtedly bring me much joy and happiness.
Such a journey costs energy and money. I already know that I come back richer than at the start of this adventure.
A big thank you to Pelé and Olivier for the exemplary work they do. Less

This trip is much more than a personal adventure. It's an opportunity to make a tangible contribution to the well-being of a community while challenging myself physically and mentally. Every kilometre I cover and every person I meet will form an authentic and meaningful experience that will remain engraved in my memory.

There is no more satisfying certainty for me than that of doing the right thing. My actions and my sweat save the lives of accident victims, mostly young Ethiopian mothers and children. I pedal for them. I would be delighted if you would support me. Every amount counts!

I admire the work the foundation is doing in Ethiopia. Through sheer determination and commitment, they have succeeded in setting up a medical infrastructure and training specialist staff on site. These are essential values that you find in your professional life, but also in cycling.
Taking part in this adventure is a unique opportunity to discover part of this country and its people and to really immerse yourself in nature, with a total change of scenery. Supporting the foundation by taking part in this expedition is obviously a great source of motivation. Less

BT 2024: Herzog Richard

CHF

I have been supporting humanitarian organisations for many years. As a doctor, supporting medical projects is particularly close to my heart. I am therefore extremely impressed by the work of Jörg Peltzer. And what could be better than helping locally by developing local infrastructure and expertise. Combining donations with a challenging team event is a cool idea and a challenge in this form for me as a keen cyclist.
A few years ago, I received a recognition award from the municipality of Wolhusen for my local commitment. At the award ceremony, I announced that I would increase the amount tenfold and donate it to the GOSTAR project. Unfortunately, something came up several times and I feared that the tour would not be repeated. It's great that I can now realise my wish after all. I'm looking forward to this bike event and to seeing and experiencing which country, which people and also which medical professionals and patients our commitment will help. Less

There are many challenges in life, some we can and must accept, others not!!!
We take many things for granted that can be achieved elsewhere with very great restrictions or disabilities.
I am doing so well and I would like to pass on some of my
"happiness and prosperity" and help where help is needed.
I am therefore very happy to be part of the challenge
"GoStar Swiss Surgeons in Ethiopia" and to make a contribution to the project, Hospital in Jimma.

After a year of travelling around our beautiful planet, meeting people from many different countries and enjoying magnificent scenery, I felt the urge to get involved in a humanitarian cause.

I heard about the GO STAR Foundation for the first time last year. I was impressed by what the foundation has achieved for the people of Ethiopia since it was established. Inspired by the spirit and commitment of Dr Jörg "Pelé" Peltzer and the GO STAR team, I decided to get involved in this project and start pedalling myself. I am looking forward to this challenge and am grateful for every donation. Thank you very much!

BT 2024: Peltzer Jörg

CHF

Accident or trauma is the number one cause of death and disability in Africa. That is why I have been committed for decades to keeping a training hospital for trauma surgery in Jimma functional. GO STAR is the only point of contact and hope for adequate treatment for 25 million people. These bike tours allow me to show our sponsors the beauty but also the misery of Africa and enable them to visit our hospital, where we finance an operation with 30 francs.
Jörg Peltzer, President Swiss Surgeons Foundation in Ethiopia Less

BT 2024: Post Quillet Alexandra

CHF

I'm touched by and admire people like Pelé, a trauma doctor, who step out of their comfort zone and invest time and money in humanitarian projects. In Pelé's case, for the last 25 years, a concrete, pragmatic and well-managed project has ensured that people injured in an accident in Ethiopia have the same chance of recovery as if the accident had happened at home. It's a lesson in life and I want to contribute to it.

Travelling through Ethiopia by bike - that was a very appealing idea for me right from the start. As I always like to try something new, my curiosity was aroused.
In the meantime, I have been able to get to know this far more than great project and the Gostar family and it is absolutely clear to me that I want to help here with my contribution
That's why I'll be pedalling with all my heart and I'm very happy about any support - big or small - THANK YOU!

I was inspired by Hugo Herzog for Ethiopia. I am a helper by nature and love to support people who need help. In my home community of Küssnacht am Rigi, I am a volunteer driver for the SRC and also support a refugee family. Having just been on holiday in Cambodia, I am still in contact with a motivated young guide and am showing him how to draw up a business plan. I try to swim attentively in the river of life with a lot of decency and respect - so now here to give the people in Ethiopia a little more joie de vivre, confidence and support in the event of illness or accidents with the support of the hospital. It would make me very proud to be part of it!

I heard about GO STAR at an event and was immediately keen to take part in this fundraising event organised by the Swiss Surgeons Foundation in Ethiopia.

I first heard about the GO STAR project from Bettina Schelker, who is actively involved herself, in mid-January 2024. During the Charity Night on 27 January 2024, I realised that this aid project is sustainable for the local people. The passion and power of "Pele" and his team was so invigorating for me that evening. I wanted to be part of it and registered for the Bike Challenge 24 the very next day - a challenge I was happy to take on.
As a physiotherapist with heart and soul, I have been able to help many people, especially in Asia, where I worked for 11 years. I can only confirm that you can achieve great things with little effort. Now I am looking forward to Ethiopia and especially to energetic donations so that GOSTAR can reach its goal again this year.

As differently affected countries and the background of the crises are, they all have in common that the situation of health care is dramatic, especially among children. The team around the Gostar project in Jimma did a great job in 2018 on site. That's why I'm back!

My meeting with Dr. Peltzer is dated 05.10. 2012 in the emergency department of Delémont. And yes, passionate about motor sport, my bike crossed a pole, conclusion: 2 legs with multiple fractures and risk of amputation. I am an example of the work and the man Jörg Peltzer does and what he does every day at the hospital and for the Foundation. After 12 operations, I normally come back and be part of this beautiful adventure. What better than to be at his side to thank him ... Thank you Pelé

I'm so lucky that I met Pele (my white brother).
With joy I support Pele in his actions to bring the donors closer to Ethiopia and to support them in convincing this project in the best possible way.
His training program for trauma surgeons is unique in Africa, many accidentally injured Ethiopians have already been helped and unnecessary amputations prevented.
Every time I think about it, I see an improvement and a hope for Ethiopia. I gladly took on these tasks:

My family and I have been supporting our friends and acquaintances in their work with young people in Tanzania for over 10 years. I regularly visit the projects on site and am always touched by the people with whom I am able to interact. Cycling through Ethiopia with Go Star will add to this experience in a lasting way. So far I have supported from afar - this time I want to actively contribute on the ground.

We are so lucky to be in Western Europe. We have everything you could wish for, healthy family, perspectives, luxury, self-fulfillment. For me this is a way to pass on something and combine it with my hobby biking. Also, the adventure appeals to me and wants to support the commitment of Pele, it needs people like him and I can contribute a small part to the success.

The meeting with Pelé about 15 years ago was a real shock. I met a brother! of course, I accepted when he asked me to visit with him his foundation in Ethiopia.
What I saw with him in our hospital changed my life forever. When I saw the miracles he performed every day, I could not help but take part in this foundation.
Meanwhile we are in our 3rd adventure with great results for our fantastic foundation.
A real adventure to be human!
