This year we are also lhave the Rosie May Foundation offering rides around The Big 1 Event on a Tuk-Tuk. At the Rosie May Foundation their mission is to help make a world in which every child grows up within a safe, nurturing family and has a positive future. They strive to prevent the separation of families and make sure that the children receive the education, love and support that every child around the world deserves. Whilst the Tuk-Tuk rides will be free, a donation point will be available for the Rosie May Foundation.
