The event will be preceded by a motorcycle parade that will start in Sofia and end in Blagoevgrad. 

"What unites all the participants is their desire to prove that they deserve a chance at life and their desire to promote donation and transplantation," Ivanka Dineva, Director of Medical Supervision, told BNR Hristo Botev.
