The Rotary “Walk with us to End Polio” fundraising event concludes on Sunday 31st October.
Our Club team, the "Berwick Boomers and Shakers", participated in the event for the second year, and consisted of eight members who together with sponsors raised a total of $1,164. This placed us 21st on the team leader board, for funds raised to help eradicate Polio and achieve a Polio-free world. 39 teams participated in the event this year.
Last year we raised $4,080 and were placed 6th on the team leaderboard, with the Rotary Club of Hawthorn winning the gold medal, by raising $9,624. At the time of writing, the winner for 2021 is the Central Blue Rotary team who raised $7,591. A total of 39 teams participated this year.
The eight participating club members set themselves an overall target of 1,030 kms, with personal targets ranging from 80 to 300 kms. My miniature schnauzer, Tilly, and I have exceeded our target of 100 kms.
Thanks to all those who donated to this worthy cause and those who managed to achieve their personal target distance.
