Thanks to the incredible efforts of a generation, polio has been 99% eradicated.
From the March of Dimes and the hunt for a vaccine, to the ongoing efforts of more than 1 million Rotarians, change has been made by an extraordinary collection of ordinary individuals who dared to dream the dream of a world without polio.
Now, with just 1% to go, Brendan Walker has signed up to do his part in the colossal quest to end this disease.
“If I was a rich bloke,” he says, “I’d make a big donation to help out. But I’m not, so I thought, what can I do?”
The answer he came up with was a daring world record attempt: an epic journey from Perth to Sydney… on a kick scooter!
The End of Polio is proud to partner with Brendon as he traverses the country, raising money and awareness for polio eradication.
