Thanks for all who supported our team. We had a great day yesterday, the bikers all completed their ride. We all enjoyed homemade chili afterwards.

I am excited to join this team. I will not be biking but will be driving the support vehicle for the group.

Why I am fundraising for The Rotary Foundation
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.
Thanks in advance - Jim Noordermeer RCoG PFP Team Captain, on behalf of the Team
