Story
Each year over forty riders from across the globe participate in this annual bike ride from Colombo, Sri Lanka's capital, to the war-devastated Jaffna Peninsula. This year, we are fundraising, by riding a gruelling 475km from Arugam Bay in the southeast, to Manipay Jaffa in the north.
The journey begins on the 1st of March and will end four days later, after cycling for 475km. During this time, the weather in Sri Lanka will be extremely hot and humid; because of this, we would have to start cycling at 4:00 AM each day and stop by 11:00 AM.
We will use the donations and sponsorships we receive to purchase a much-needed X-ray machine - SLRS 30 million or approx £75,000 and provide valuable and continuous medical services to the local community. This community holds a special place in Siva's heart as it's his hometown and the hospital where he was born.
We gladly welcome all generous donations and appreciate your kindness.
