The third annual Pull for Polio, run by the STamp Out Polio Satellite Club of Dundas Valley Sunrise is in the books! 29 lifters took part, ranging in age from 18 months to 81, including 1 Rotarian Kanwal Shankardass. Of note, 3 kids under the age of 13, and 4 teens represented our youth, while we had every other decade represented, including multiple folks in their 60s, 70s and 80s, respectively!
The hot and humid weather proved to be challenging yet it didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of all involved and the Rotary Club of Dundas’ Pancake Breakfast once again provided all the carbs a lifter could want.
We have already raised (from our Rotary crowdfunding page and cash donations) $2,134! Cash donations are also still to be accounted - but we know we will be close to $3,200 CAD total raised for Polio Eradication. Here is the link to donate via Rotary’s own crowdfunding site:
Our cumulative three year Pull for Polio fundraising efforts stand at $28,412.00 with nearly one hundred participants deadlifting thousands of kilograms!
We will continue to solicit funds via the main Raise for Rotary page until the end of July.
