The Ride


Dear Friends

I am taking a well-earned break from paid work for a while and soon will be embarking on fulfilling a long held dream of mine, while raising funds for a very worthwhile cause Sri Lanka.

This Wednesday, 22nd of April I will be leaving my home in Perth, Western Australia to undertake a solo and unsupported bike ride across Australia, to Melbourne. The journey will be across harsh and desert environments and would take over 45 days and cover over 3600Kms.

While striving to achieve this goal, I intend to raise funds for ‘Save a Heart & Save A Child Trust Fund’ to purchase a mobile echo-cardiogram for Lady Ridgeway Children’s Hospital in Colombo. According to the specialists, this is a piece of equipment that can save the lives of children with heart problems but is inaccessible due to lack of funds.

You can find the donation form here or in the download section at the top right. I hope you would support this worthwhile charity.

Please circulate this information among your friends and colleagues so that we could together make some difference to improve the lives of less fortunate children in Sri Lanka.

Regards

Udeni Gunasekera
