Together for hope

The heart of our foundation

Trail is a heartfelt initiative by the Colours of Courage Trust, an organization devoted to creating lasting
change in Sri Lanka's fight against cancer. Our journey is built on hope, resilience, and the incredible power
of coming together for a shared purpose. From supporting treatment facilities to empowering
communities, every step we take reflects our unwavering commitment to healing and transformation.
Through unity and compassion, we aim to inspire others to join us in this impactful mission for a brighter,
healthier future.

A vision of unity and hope

For a cancer-free future

Our foundation’s vision finds its roots in a profound desire to make a meaningful impact on the fight
against cancer in Sri Lanka. We believe that by uniting hearts and fostering connections, we can create
a brighter and healthier future for those affected by this devastating disease

A decade of hope and healing

Since 2011, we’ve journeyed with compassion, raising awareness and essential funds to support cancer treatment facilities nationwide. Along the way, we’ve experienced the profound strength of unity, each step embodying hope, resilience, and healing. Through these efforts, we’re leaving a lasting impact, ensuring that those affected by cancer receive the care they deserve. Together, our path is marked not only by the distance we’ve traveled but by the lives we’ve touched and the hope we continue to inspire
