When Rotary became a part of the Global Polio Eradication initiative, there were 350,000 cases of wild polio every year across 125 countries. Today to date for 2023, there have been 6 cases in Afghanistan and 4 cases in Pakistan. We must reach every child to reach our goal of a polio-free world.
OUR GOAL IS IN SIGHT!!!
The Rotary Club of Tucson has an Indoor Ride to End Polio event and fellow Rotarians riding in El Tour/Ride to End Polio as our fundraiser to support the goal of a polio-free world. On October 24th, World Polio Day, each year we, as Rotarians, renew our commitment to Rotary's top humanitarian goal. Our Indoor team rode on November 7th and are pictured here. On November 18th our fellow Rotarians will ride in the El Tour de Tucson. Please join this effort and support one or more of our riders to achieve the polio-free world humanitarian goal.Our Indoor Riders are Jo DeChatelet, Charlotte Harris, Gary Hirsch, Dot Kret, Ann Lancero, Bobby Larson, Ernie Montagne, Steve Pickering, Darrell Stewart, Hugh Thompson, and Bruce Tunze.
Our El Tour Road Warriors are Matt Blair, Jim Garrett, Aimee Graves, Lee Olitzky, Alan Rogers, and Jonathan Walkup.
