Ride for Ceylon

Ride for Ceylon continues in its aim to raise funds for the restoration and redevelopment of Green Memorial Hospital in Jaffna.

The project, which was originally started by a group of St Thomas College old boys, has broadened into an annual fundraising cycle ride.

Now a major event, the ride is supported and sponsored by friends, colleagues, associates and family members of the founding team. However, R4C too has been heavily impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Their annual ride has now been postponed until 2022. Despite huge setbacks, a pilot ride for next year was completed by a few riders between Nov 17-20. A team of 7 cyclists and a support crew cycled over 400kms from Colombo via Dambulla, Trincomalee, Mullaitivu to Jaffna.

If all goes to plan, the annual ride will go ahead in Mar 2022.
