</div>
<div>Last year saw the first Ride4Red with a fantastic turn out including some young ones. I was just going to do the one off but everybody loved Red's Route (he designed it) and encouraged me to make it yearly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year the fundraising will go to last year's 3rd option - which was hopefully a local organisation supporting autistic children involved in the outdoors and/or wildlife - as no such option was found I'm hoping to set up an organisation/charity (need to figure which suits best) to empower parents of autistic children to get outdoors and do a bit of wild adventuring. The aim is to provide items to give the kids an interest in the wildlife around them, then for some garden camping before a 'wild camp' on a weekend hopefully in a nature rich area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was lucky that I was confident in doing this and saw how much Red flourished, so hope to pass my knowledge &amp; skills on to other parents thus showing them that autism isn't a limitation. Ultimately creating an 'out of the box' solution should other parents wish to set something up similar in their local area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I had hoped to get this going last autumn but to be honest my mental health took a nose dive at the end of last summer and I've been doing my best to just hang on. My time for setting this up and running will always be free.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last year I helped Felix Road Adventure Playground staff take a coach load of kids on a hike up Pen y fan; there was some grumbling on the way up but once at the top they loved it. This was put on with money raised from Red's Funeral Memorial. I will be supporting them again this year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any excess monies raised will be given to an organisation/charity(s) that Red would approve of.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last year £6,540 was raised split between the charity 2Wish &amp; Redland Green School's SEND department - specifically the Minecraft Club that Red instigated and The Extraordinary Club.
