<<<<<<<<<<
Please click the QR code which should take you to the just Giving page.
The District 1070 Ride for Rotary is a 4-day motor-cycle ride aimed at advertising and promoting Rotary in the East Midlands.The 5 intrepid riders are Ian Day (Corby Phoenix), Julian Winch (Kettering), David Smith (Northampton Beckett), Mike Norman (Dantree Daventry) and Alexander Cooke (Towcester). On Monday 29th April they will be winding their way through your neck of the woods.
Your donation to District 1070 Ride for Rotary will help eradicate Polio, which is a paralysing and potentially fatal infectious disease, which typically affects children under the age of five.
District 1070 Ride for Rotary 2024 is a “motor-cycle” ride around the perimeters of the District to mark our centenary and to promote Rotary.
It will take place between the 28th April and 1st May 2024. All proceeds will go to “End Polio Now".
Since Rotary and its partners launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) over 30 years ago, the incidence of polio has plummeted by more than 99.99%, from about 350,000 cases a year in 125 countries to just 1 case so far in 2024.
But the final steps on any journey can sometimes be the hardest, but we can’t let up with the finish line in sight. If we don't finish the fight right now, more than 10 million children could be paralysed by polio in the next 40 years.
