Enterprising Sydneysider Mark Anderson explains the highlysuccessful Train Ride to End Polio. Next one is Thursday 24 October 2024. Ride190 stations in one day or join the train at your station for as many stops asyou want. We will ride the train to every railway station in Sydney to raise funds to END POLIO NOW.

Then, in 2001, trains became part of the solution, with all children aboard Indian trains being immunised. Now, Pakistan has adopted the same strategy, helping to ensure that no child is left unvaccinated. Over the past six years, there has been an All-Stations Challenge in the Sydney Metropolitan area, along with several other cities in Australia and New Zealand, to raise money for the Rotary END POLIO NOW Campaign. The Sydney event have raised over $660,000 — and that’s before the Gates 2:1 match
