HEB Rotary is giving to END POLIO All Over the World!! Thank you for Helping the World.

We have had 18 Rotarians come out and spin so far. We have raised an additional $700 today, which is not reflected in the numbers on this site yet (some checks to be deposited) but we will definitely meet our new goal of $2000.

Pedaling for Polio!

The Rotary Club of Hurst-Euless-Bedford proudly supports Pedaling for Polio and Rotary International decades long commitment to END POLIO!!!

Thank you for your support in District 5790's Pedaling for Polio fundraiser to End Polio globally!

Thank you Rotary Club of Burkburnett for your generous donation of $625 - Together, We Can End Polio Now!

We have donated $45 dollars so far. With the match from the Gates Foundation that will equal $90. How easy was that! We have two more donations coming. I'll check back and see how we are doing soon. Thank you everyone and God bless.

Thank you Rotary Club of Bowie for your generous check of $500 to Rotary's polio eradication efforts at this critical time in our fight for a polio free world.

My husband is a polio survivor and we know first hand how difficult this disease is to conquer. He had it as a young child, but now has some after-effects showing up in his health. Let's erase this disease and save children from experiencing this debilitating and frightening disease!

Join me to celebrate, "The World Health Organization’s African region is officially certified free of the wild poliovirus!"

Rotary has been working to eradicate Polio for over 35 years. In 1988 there were 350,000 new cases of wild polio every year, in 125 countries around the world.

Thanks to the efforts of Rotary and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, with generous support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, wild polio exists today in only two countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan. But we must keep working until this crippling disease is removed from the face of the earth once and for all!

World Polio Day is Saturday, October 24. On that day we will hold six 12-hour stationary bike marathon relays, in six locations around our district.

Come join the team, or donate to support your favorite rider as we raise money to eradicate Polio!

Every dollar we raise will go toward Rotary's PolioPlus initiative. And every dollar donated will be matched 2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation! Please join us in this important cause!

As many of our FB peeps know Marilyn and I are Rotary members committed to making our world a better place through literacy projects, environmental projects, disease and health improvements etc. END POLIO is a 35 year effort to totally eradicate polio in the world. There are just two country's that are not "polio-free". Afghanistan and Pakistan. We in Rotary are working and raising money to eliminate the decease in those two countries. This year Marilyn Harmsen Pokorny and I are tag teaming to ride a spin cycle in the Shops of Highland Village for 30 minutes on October 24th as our challenge. Please consider donating to our challenge using the link below.
In our Covid 19 world creating awareness of our END POLIO challenge is a challenge in of itself. You might me interested in knowing that in some countries, the same infrastructure set-up to test for polio is being used to test for the presence of the Covid 19 viruses. The polio teams test the water in streams looking for polio that shows up from human waste. They now are doing that same testing procedure to look for the Covid 19 virus.

PLEASE donate to END POLIO!
