About Trail
Trail began as a serendipitous coming together of idea and purpose between two friends and colleagues – Sarinda Unamboowe who had pledged that if the civil war were to end, he would walk the length of his homeland as a commitment to peace, and Nathan Sivagananathan who was touched by a personal loss to cancer and felt this walk was the most impactful way to help the many others struggling with the disease.
Trail was initiated in conjunction with the Colours of Courage Trust in an effort to bring together communities across Sri Lanka and collectively drive the nation’s fight against cancer. It is a charity walk that carries a message of unity and understanding while raising funds in aid of cancer treatment. The walk takes place over 28 days and spans 670 km along the length of the country.
