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

Hi!

Thanks for visiting our JustGiving page 🙂

We are a group of friends, many of us new to road cycling, who have taken up the challenge of a lifetime.

Our mission? To ride 485 kilometres over four gruelling days, from Kandy to Jaffna in Sri Lanka.

Our journey has a noble purpose: to support the Green Memorial Hospital in Manipai, Jaffna. This hospital is situated in an area that has been deeply affected by the scars of war.

The medical facilities here, particularly in the Paediatric Unit and the Hope Beyond Cancer Unit, are in dire need of renovation and improvement. Your sponsorship will go directly towards renovating and enhancing these critical units.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who rely on the hospital for their health and well-being.

Thank you!!
