Update #1

The Rotary Club of Grimsby (RCoG) is contributing to this year's World Polio Day (October 24 - 2020) by joining other Rotary Clubs in District 7090 in a "Pedal for Polio" bicycling event from the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls, Ontario to Fort George in Niagara-on-the-Lake (22 km). The event is also held in honour of Dr. Ron Mergyl, a prominent Rotarian who recently passed away.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this year we will not be able to join our American District 7090 compatriots, but we will wave to them across the Niagara River, as they bicycle a similar route on the US side of the border.
Please join Rotary International (RI) in continuing our worldwide fight against Polio (99.9% reduction in polio in 30 years) by sponsoring members of our "Rotary Club of Grimsby Pedal for Polio Bicycling Team". All contributions are in $USD and forward to the RI Polio Fund. Canadian Tax Receipts are provided
Thank you - Jim Powell


Why I am fundraising for The Rotary Foundation
The Rotary Club of Grimsby (RCoG) is contributing to World Polio Day (Oct 24-2020) by joining 65 other Canadian & American District 7090 Clubs in a "Pedal for Polio" bicycling run* from the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls, Ontario to Fort George in Niagara-on-the-Lake (22 km).
Please join Rotary International (RI) in continuing our worldwide fight against Polio (99.9% reduction in polio in 30 years) by sponsoring members of the "Rotary Club of Grimsby Pedal for Polio Bicycling Team". All contributions are in $USD & forward to the RI Polio Fund. Canadian tax receipts are issued. An external donor is matching the club amount (to a limit) and Bill & Melinda Gates will double that total.
Our thanks in advance - Jim Powell.
* Due to COVID group-size restrictions by the Niagara Parkway Commission, the 9 RCoG bikers will now hold their event on local Grimsby roads.
In honour of Dr. Ron Mergyl (DVM), a prominent Rotarian who recently passed away.
