Fellow Rotarian Rob DeCou will be speaking at his home club meeting on Wednesday Sept. 16, 2020 regarding his upcoming Uberman Race, and to bring more awareness to combat human trafficking. https://playavenice.org/page/human-trafficking/

Over the past several years, Rotarian Rob DeCou has focused his ultra-endurance races towards raising money and awareness to help end polio and fight human trafficking. In 2017, Rob completed a 146-mile ultra-marathon in Badwater Basin, becoming the 124th known person to cover this distance on foot known as the"World's Toughest Foot Race", and in doing so, raised awareness and nearly $700,000 for End Polio Now in collaboration with District Governor Cozette Vergari. In 2019, Rob swam over 31 miles across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the U.S. to Canada, raising $10,000 for trafficking prevention efforts. In June 2020, Rob completed an “Everesting” climb, cycling uphill 29,029 feet over 230 miles in just under 27 hours, raising over $3,500 for HOPE61. Most recently, this July Rob cycled over 625 miles in the Race Across Oregon, an unforgiving course with nearly 50,000 feet of unending climbing, raising over $8,000 for In Our Backyard and bringing awareness to human trafficking.
