RideupforAutism.ca Statement

Please note this mission has been established as a nonprofit company called
" Ride up for Autism Inc". The mission's goal is to raise awareness rather than funds but the expedition will be very demanding in terms of logistics, equipment, time and effort.

A special thanks to all the people of Fort St.John. I made and for all the great words of encouragement on my Awareness ride.

Extra special thank you goes to the Bonfield Family, who were kind enough to host me for seven days while I was delayed by bad road and weather conditions.

Many thanks to the following during my Stony Rapids testrun:

The Black Lake Band Council and all the people who took care of me, including Brian from Winnipeg, who picked me up after I broke my collarbone.

And last but certainly not least, I would like to thank all the organizations and people who have offered support and "good luck" with my mission.
