Ride for Ceylon

Beginning in 2017, Ride for Ceylon brings together cyclists in London for an annual fundraising event. The initiative supports the revival of Green Memorial Hospital (GMH) in Manipay, Northern Sri Lanka. This event unites riders, donors, and volunteers behind a common cause.

The cycle ride is more than just a sporting activity; it is a mission to restore GMH. Founded in 1848, the hospital is Sri Lanka’s oldest teaching hospital. This centre of excellence is being rebuilt through community support.

The effort originated from the vision of the Trustees of the Friends of Manipay Hospital, a registered UK charity. The organisation’s work provides a powerful opportunity to make a tangible difference.

For those looking to combine their love of cycling with charitable giving, Ride for Ceylon offers a unique chance to contribute to a worthwhile cause. Contact the organisers to learn how to get involved as a rider, donor, or volunteer.
