The Tour of Hope (TTOH)

The Tour of Hope (TTOH) is an annual prominent biking event organized by Bravehearts - a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness on cervical cancer prevention.

The tour was introduced in the Philippines in 2008 through the collaboration of GlaxoSmithKline Philippines and the UP Cancer Institute Foundation’s Cervical Cancer Prevention (CECAP) network program in strategic partnership with Team David’s Salon, the first all woman sports team in the country.

Since then, the Tour of Hope has become the largest anti-cervical cancer biking tour in the Philippines and has attracted varied supporters thru the years. TTOH has become Bravehearts’ annual fund raising event and an opportunity to conduct lectures for cervical cancer prevention programs in the different municipalities/cities the tour passes.

Last year, TTOH was able to raise Php750,000, and the fund was donated to CECAP where more than 200 cervical cancer vaccination were conducted for free to community health  workers in selected provinces across the Philippines. Check them out at www.thetourofhope.com.
