Trek4Ceylon Cyclists Support MS Charity Down Under

Trek4Ceylon, the ever expanding charity, continues to be outward looking, not only in Sri Lanka but also globally.

Five Trek4Ceylon riders participated in the epic MS Gong fundraising charity event from Sydney to Wollongong on Sunday.

Waruna Kumarage, Pradeep Gnanseekeram, Ranjithkumar Nagarajah, Aravinthan Varatharajan and Anthony Peiris pedalled to support people with multiple sclerosis alongside a striking New South Wales backdrop, meandering through the Royal National Park, whilst glimpsing the resplendent ocean view from Stanwell Tops. The gallant five cruised over the staggering Sea Cliff Bridge, before they charged over the finish line in Wollongong.

Speaking at the end of the scenic 80km ride, Trek4Ceylon Ride Captain, Pradeep, reiterated Trek4Ceylon Australia’s commitment to serving local charities and communities in Australia, whilst maintaining their dedication to the flagship ride and projects.

Trek4Ceylon’s annual charity ride will be held from 10-14 February 2026, with over 70 riders from across the globe participating in this fundraiser.

Pradeep highlighted Australia’s presence in the annual event, with 10 riders flying to Sri Lanka in February.

Furthermore, Pradeep was keen to mention Ride Chair Trinushka Perera’s contribution and organisation of the ride. The ride is organised to a very high standard, with attention to all the finer points. The Sri Lanka Police have additionally provided security and support each year to guarantee a smooth journey.

Over the past 12 months, riders from other countries have also taken part in extreme feats in order to raise funds. A rider from the US completed the New York marathon, and a few from the UK trekked to Everest Base Camp and Mount Kilimanjaro.

These heartwarming tales and selfless acts demonstrate a deep level of compassion and empathy towards the disadvantaged.

T4C2026 will provide funds for the Out Patient Department and Emergency Treatment Unit at St Luke’s Methodist Mission Hospital in Puttur, for which the Australian participants are hoping to raise a considerable sum via donations and sponsorships.

The charity’s primary aim is to raise funds to enhance the medical infrastructure in Sri Lanka, bridge the north south divide and, in doing so, promote tourism to this luscious island.

Trek4Ceylon’s generosity also extends to other communities worldwide.

Moreover, Trek4Ceylon’s endeavours are backed by the country’s Tourist Board and Foreign Ministry.

Trek4Ceylon is registered as a charity in Australia, UK, USA, Canada and Sri Lanka.
