World Polio Day is 24 October. Rotary remains committed to the program “End Polio Now”, which aims to eradicate the disease poliomyelitis through the vaccination of children throughout the world. Today there are 98 cases in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In order to achieve this, funds need to be raised.
Our Goal is to raise awareness of Polio in our communities on 24 October, and to raise $50,000 for ‘End Polio Now’ from Club sponsorships, NOT from the public.
The plan is for Rotarians from District 9423 to ride the trains throughout the WA Railway Network on Friday 24 October wearing a red Polio T-shirt promoting 'End Polio Now' and creating awareness in the public domain.
Although the event is free, you need to register so you are covered by insurance.
You can ride the trains anytime between 8am and 6.00pm, wearing your Polio T-Shirt - you can order your t-shirt if you register before 1 September.
Book here and register for the event on the RCWE website so we know you are attending.
