Why I am fundraising for The Rotary Foundation
Thursday 24th October, we will ride the train to every railway station in Sydney to raise funds to END POLIO NOW.
It used to be that trains were part of the polio problem, as they gave the poliovirus the perfect way to rapidly spread far and wide. Then, in 2001, trains became part of the solution, with all children aboard Indian trains being immunised. Now, Pakistan has adopted the same strategy, helping to ensure that no child is left unvaccinated.
Over the past six years, there has been an All-Stations Challenge in the Sydney Metropolitan area, along with several other cities in Australia and New Zealand, to raise money for the Rotary END POLIO NOW Campaign. The Sydney event have raised over $660,000 — and that’s before the Gates 2:1 match.
