Ride for Ceylon is an annual cycling fundraiser that began in 2017, uniting riders, donors, and volunteers to support the revival of Green Memorial Hospital (GMH) in Manipay, Northern Sri Lanka. Founded in 1848, GMH is Sri Lanka’s oldest teaching hospital, once a centre of excellence, now being restored thanks to this powerful community initiative. What started as the vision of the Trustees of the Friends of Manipay Hospital, a UK registered charity (No. 1113439), and many well-wishers, is more than just a cycle ride, it’s a mission of healing. Each year, cyclists take on a 450+ km ride from Colombo to Manipay, not just as a physical challenge, but as a mission to heal, reconnect, and rebuild lives in a region affected by decades of civil conflict. Funds raised go directly toward the redevelopment of GMH and related healthcare projects, delivering lasting impact to underserved communities. With safety, inclusivity, and team spirit at its core, Ride for Ceylon welcomes riders of all backgrounds and abilities. We also support other good causes chosen by our riders. Whether cycling, donating, or cheering us on, your support helps restore the Greatest Medical Heritage of Ceylon. All riders pay for their own travel, transportation and accommodation cost. Much of the ride logistic costs are supported by sponsors. Thereby enabling all donations to be applied to charitable work.

Story

Over forty riders from across the globe will participate in an annual bike ride to raise funds for the redevelopment of the Green Memorial Hospital.  This hospital was destroyed during the civil war in Sri Lanka with many of its facilities destroyed.  This year we are hoping to raise £75,000 (SLRS 30 million) for a much-needed x-ray machine. 

We will be cycling from Arugam Bay in the Southeast of Sri Lanka to Manipay Jaffna, in the north (a total of 481km) over 4 days in hot and humid weather.  

We gladly welcome all donations and sponsorship and thank you for your generosity in advance.  Thank you for your generosity.www.ride4ceylon.com
