Each year over forty cyclists from across the globe participate in a bike ride from Colombo, Sri Lanka to the war impacted Jaffna Peninsula. This year the journey begins on the 2nd of March and will continue for four days covering 480 km. This mammoth journey is starting from Colombo and ending in Jaffna, by stopping at Dambulla, Trincomalee and Mullaithivu. I have been training to join this charity ride for some time now, while also withstanding the current pandemic challenges.

In addition to the physical challenge, the weather in Sri Lanka is expected to be extremely hot and humid; so, the organisers have set the start time of each day ride to 4:00AM in order to avoid the midday sun and reach the set destination by 11:00AM.

Any donations and sponsorships received through this charity ride will be used to redevelop the Green Memorial Hospital in Jaffna, purchasing medical equipment and to continuously provide the invaluable medical services to the local community.

I would greatly appreciate your support and your motivation to accomplish this cause.

If possible, please also select gift aid as this would help to add additional amount for free from Tax relief.

Thank you 🙏🏽
