World’s Largest Polio Walk

At 11:00 am on October 24, World Polio Day, the Rotary Clubs of Houghton and Hancock, along the Houghton and Hancock High School Interact Clubs and community members throughout the nation, will join forces with thousands of Rotary members across eleven states and two countries in the World’s Largest Polio Walk, a coordinated effort to raise awareness and support the global fight to end polio.

As part of this initiative, thousands of Rotary club members, friends and families are expected to participate by organizing and joining walks in their local communities.

The Houghton – Hancock area event will start at 11:00 am from the Rotary Pavilion located at the Kestner Waterfront Park in Houghton.   The walk will cross over the bridge and end at the labyrinth in Hancock.  Participants are asked to arrive by 10:30 am so that the walk can begin promptly at 11:00 am.

All community members, families, and supporters are invited to take part in this meaningful event.  Those who wish to provide financial support can visit the website at: https://my.rotary.org/en/polioplus-fund. Donations will also be accepted at the event.

Rotary has been a leader in the fight to eradicate polio for more than 35 years through its End Polio Now campaign, helping reduce cases worldwide by over 99.9%. Events like the World’s Largest Polio Walk aim to raise awareness and ensure the momentum continues until polio is fully eradicated.
