JOIN US & WALK FOR 'PARTICIPATE FOR POLIO'

 

October 29, 2024 | 11:00 am |  Sand Trap |  Niagara-on-the-Lake

Walkers are needed for our 'Participate for Polio' on October 29th at 11:00 am, starting and ending at the Sand Trap in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
 
Our goal is to raise $10,000 with the money raised to be matched 2:1 by the Gates Foundation.
 
Polio eradication efforts have already saved more than $27 billion USD in health care costs since 1988. A further savings of $14 billion USD is expected by 2050. If eradication efforts stopped today, in 10 years polio could paralyze 200,000 children.
 
Be part of history. When we all join the fight, we all win.

At the World Health Summit in October of 2022, Global leaders committed $2.6 billion USD to end polio. Rotary has committed to contribute $150M USD to that end. The goal is to: Permanently interrupt all poliovirus transmission in Pakistan and Afghanistan, stop transmission of CVDPV and prevent outbreaks in non-endemic countries by 2023; and certify the world free from polio (meaning no cases have been detected for three years) by 2026.

'End Polio Now!' has been Rotary International’s longest running (since 1979) and by far the most significant initiative in the history of the organization.
 
We are in the final mile and we need your help to eradicate polio forever.

Please help eradicate this debilitating disease.
With your help, we can end polio for good.
