We raise funds for Green Memorial Hospital to rebuild and develop medical services

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




About the charity

RCN 1113439
The Ride4Ceylon Team has its nucleus in a group of friends from St Thomas’ College in Colombo, Sri Lanka, now established among the Sri Lankan diaspora community overseas. Passionate to support their troubled homeland, and to give Sri Lankan children of tomorrow the opportunities they had enjoyed, the Old Boys – with other alumni, international friends and contacts – came up with the idea of a charity cycle ride from Colombo to Jaffna. The cycle ride recreates the sport, fun and bonding that marks the Old Boys’ connection, while also providing a visible means to attract support. Symbolically, by traversing the island from Colombo to the war-devastated north – it offers a journey of heart-rending beauty, healing and hope. The R4C2022 organising committee would like to thank the brand ambassadors Dan Norton, Jen Orr, Pia De Girolamo and Russel Arnold for their support. www.ride4ceylon.com
