100 mile Rotary Ride To End Polio - El Tour de Tucson

Update #6

2 years ago

As we approach 3 weeks til ride day of 20 November achieving the goal of $5000 is slowing in momentum. If you have not yet given to Polio Plus this year please consider. The Rotary Foundation still needs your help and commitment. Tomorrow’s 85 mile ride is the last long distance training ride and the taper begins. Please help me reach my goal. The generosity of those members who have given is so much appreciated. Please join the crowd of donors.

Why I am fundraising for The Rotary Foundation

As the spouse of a Polio survivor, this is a personal journey for me. Each year, over 9000 cyclists ride El Tour de Tucson, Rotary International's largest fundraiser in our fight against polio. Along with our partners, the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, it is our goal to eradicate this horribly crippling disease worldwide. As a multi-billion dollar effort, over 430 million children have already been vaccinated and less than 20 polio cases have been documented worldwide in 2021.
You donation will be matched 2:1 by the Gates Foundation.
Recommended donation is $1/mile (or $100) BUT ANY amount is greatly appreciated and I thank you for your generosity in helping me reach my goal by ride day, 20 November.
