Walk With Us to End Polio

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we’ve reduced polio cases by 99.9% since our first project in the Philippines in 1979.

Today polio remains endemic in only Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio free.  If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyse as many as 200,000 children per year.

This is an invitation for you to join Team Torquay Rotary as we raise funds to End Polio by walking throughout the month of October. 

This October, we are challenging you to walk, run or roll 10, 20 or 50km throughout the month and raise vital funds that will help eradicate and prepare us for a Polio free world.

1. Sign up with Team Torquay Rotary – Sign up to walk or run as many km’s as you like through the month of October.

2. Get a team together – Getting on the journey with friends, family or colleagues will be more fun.

3. Walk with Us! Track your journey goal and aim to get yourself on our leader board.

Rotary Walk With Us 2022 is an online fitness challenge which runs for one month from 1st October 2021 to 31st October 2022. You decide where and when to walk.
