Rotary’s new drive to end polio

Vehicles of all shapes and sizes have been touring the country, raising money for End Polio Now as well as sharing the story of Rotary along the way. For more details of the Purple for Polio Event, click here.

Kilrymont Klassiks reached Halifax Minster on 24th May in brilliant sunshine along with 31 other cars. 
A huge thanks to all the sponsors who have helped Ranald and Hilde from the Kilrymont St Andrews Club raise over £1000 towards the End Polio Now campaign.
By the time the tripling donation from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is added along with the Gift Aid, the contribution to the campaign will be in the region of £3500. Truly amazing!
