Robert Fisher is challenging himself to walk 300km during the month of October to raise $5,000 vital funds that will help eradicate and prepare us for a Polio free world.

Robert is thrilled to say that over 75% of his fundraising goal for the month has already been reached thanks to the amazing generosity of Rotarians and friends.

Today (Sunday 6 October 24), organised by Rotary Passport Melbourne, a group of District Rotarians, families and doggie friends walked around Elsternwick Park a few times in sunshine and heavy rain to promote the cause. Lots of fun.

We are asking you to support the 'Rotary Walk With Us' campaign by donating so that no child ever again suffers from the devastating effects of Polio. Every $1 that we raise becomes $3 thanks to the generosity of the Gates Foundation.
