Individual and gr oup activities will be documented online as we bike\, hike\, or walk our local beaches & trails to raise money. Every dollar collected will be ma tched 2:1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for triple impact. Rot ary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 30 years. As a foun ding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative\, we've reduced p olio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Today\, polio remains endemic only in Afgha nistan & Pakistan\, but it’s crucial to continue working to keep other co untries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today\, within 10 years polio could paralyze as many as 200\,000 children each year. Will you help us in this effort? Click here for more information.
