Rotary has worked to eradicate polio for more than 35 years, helping reduce cases worldwide by more than 99.9%. We are closer than ever, but the work must continue until polio is completely eradicated.
Registration is free. Please register each participant so we can accurately report our local attendance as part of the World’s Largest Polio Walk.
