Why We Walk and Bike
Ending polio is one of Rotary International's most important humanitarian commitments. Through decades of global vaccination efforts, partnerships, advocacy, and fundraising, Rotary and its partners have helped bring the world closer to eliminating this devastating disease.
But the work is not finished. Continued awareness, commitment, and funding are essential to reaching every child and ensuring a future free of polio.
The End Polio Now Torch Relay is an opportunity for our local community to be part of this worldwide effort.
Can't Participate? Make a Donation!
