"If we all have the fortitude to see this effort through to the end, then we will eradicate polio." - Bill Gates




Thanks to Rotary and its partners, the world has seen polio cases plummet by more than 99 percent, preventing five million instances of child paralysis and 250,000 deaths. When Rotary began its eradication work, polio infected more than 350,000 children annually. In 2011, fewer than 1,000 cases were reported worldwide.

But the polio cases represented by that final 1 percent are the most difficult and expensive to prevent. Challenges include geographic isolation, worker fatigue, armed conflict, and cultural barriers.


That’s why it’s so important to generate the funding needed to End Polio Now. To fail is to invite a polio resurgence that would condemn millions of children to lifelong paralysis in the years ahead.



The bottom line is this: As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, all children — wherever they live — remain at risk.

Real riders




Real riders ... Bruce and Katrina are real riders but we do feel a bit "shammy", in our shammy shorts when we note what other riders are doing ... Katrina's brother Ashley is doing the 3 peaks this weekend- an inaugural gruelling extreme ride - 3 peaks being Falls Creek, Tawonga Gap nd Mt Hotham in a 230 km circuit in one day ! Lots of long hard climbs. That is real riding. They are not raising money for anything though ... our purpose is to End Polio Now so we don't feel so shammy after all. Good luck Ash, ride safely and defensively and don't let that heart rate go over 145 please !
