On Sunday 27 October Robert completed the Rotary Walk for Polio 11km circuit from Kew to Fairfield Group Boathouse and back.
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.
