Charity Walk in aid of Polio and Covid
It is possible to eradicate major sources of disease. Rotary and its partners have reduced cases of polio by 99% since 1988.
Help us progress toward a polio-free world. Together we can make a difference.
Join RC Marbella -Guadalmina in a sponsored stroll, walk or hike, around beautiful Istan, on Saturday October 23rd
Rotary members all over the world are taking action to raise awareness, funds, and support to end polio, a vaccine-preventable disease that still threatens children in parts of the world today. Since 1988, polio cases have been reduced by 99.9%, but the program is not complete.
Rotary has committed to raising US$50 million each year to support global polio eradication efforts. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged to match that 2-to-1, for a total yearly contribution of $150 million.
RC Marbella-Guadalmina has also pledged that some of the funds raised will go to local charities, helping people affected by Covid.
