Steps and sips to End Polio
Our bright red End Polio Now shirts caught plenty of attention, especially following World Polio Day yesterday.
It was a perfect day to enjoy good company while supporting Rotary’s mission to end polio for good, before enjoying a refreshing drink at Margot Bar.
In this last week, we’re aiming to raise as much money and awareness as we can to help protect every child from this preventable disease.

Every step we take helps us get closer to a polio free world, but we need more help to reach our fundraising goal!
Our team is aiming to raise $2,000, and thanks to the Gates Foundation, every dollar donated will be matched 2:1.
We're challenging ourselves to walk, run or roll 10, 20, or 50km throughout the month and raise vital funds that will help eradicate and prepare us for a Polio free world.
Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal disease that still affects children in parts of the world. There’s no cure, but there is a solution — safe and effective vaccines. Through Rotary’s global End Polio Now campaign, we’re working to immunise every child, everywhere, until transmission stops and the world is truly polio-free.
This October, members of the Rotary Club of Canberra Sundowners are lacing up their shoes to help make that vision a reality. Our team will be walking, running and strolling throughout Canberra — especially around our iconic Lake Burley Griffin — as part of Rotary’s Walk With Us campaign. Together, we’re aiming to crack hundreds of kilometres in support of those who can’t walk for themselves
