Our Aim
To raise £10,000 from this event to eradicate polio, therefore even if you are unable to attend we appeal to you to make a donation to help us achieve this goal.

“As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, All children – wherever they live – remain at risk.”

Let’s make Polio History
In 1985, Rotary, a volunteer service organization of 1.2 million men and women made a commitment to immunize the world’s children against polio. Three years later, Rotary instigated the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. To date, Rotary has already contributed more than $800 million to the polio eradication effort. Nevertheless, the polio cases represented by that final one percent will be the most difficult and expensive to prevent for a variety of reasons, including geographical isolation, worker fatigue, armed conflict, and cultural barriers.
