Teddy travels to end Polio now!
The Foundation and International committee launch new 2014-15 initiative to help "end Polio now" campaign.
Between July the 1st 2014 and June 30th 2015, Edward (Teddy) Harris will be travelling with Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Soham Staploe to destinations far and near to raise funds to help eradicate Polio Worldwide.
Rotary has been one of the main driving forces behind Polio eradication for more than twenty six years and it is hoped that the campaign will come to a successful conclusion by 2025.
Thanks to the generosity of the Gates Foundation, we expect that all contributions will be matched 2 for 1 effectively trebling your contribution.
All you need to do is contribute at least a £1, guess the number of miles that Edward will travel in the year then wait and see whether you have won a prize.
Further information about Edwards travels and the End Polio Now Campaign is available on our website:
