Big Dog Parker End Polio Now

Big Dog Parker's owner, Elizabeth, has loaned him to the Rotary Club of Buxton to help children. Polio is still crippling under-5s so he's fundraising for Rotary's 'End Polio Now' campaign, by visiting Buxton firms, and inviting their staff to help.


Hi! My name is Big Dog Parker and my lovely owner, Elizabeth, has loaned me to the Rotary Club of Buxton to travel around Buxton firms to help Rotary International stamp out Polio. Polio is still killing and crippling under-5s in Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan (March 2017)

Eradicating Polio has been Rotary International's prime aim since the mid '80s.
