Ride the Train to End Polio
The End Polio Train Ride is now an annual fundraising and public image event held across Sydney, with Dave and Mark Anderson riding 32 different trains to stop at all 189 stations on the Sydney network. This year the event will also run in Greater Brisbane, Qld, Auckland and Wellington, NZ. Over the past two years the combined events have raised over $500,000 for polio. This year, due to COVID-19, it may be difficult for large numbers of Rotarians to join in, so your support is needed more than ever. You can commit in two ways – for clubs a $10 per station donation is requested and $1 per station for individuals. Train timetables will be circulated to clubs in September.
