“I saw how my father suffered with the impacts of polio for many years, and no one should have to face this terrible disease,” said Milward.  “We are so close to eliminating polio throughout the world, and we need to continue Rotary’s push to reach this important goal.”

Last year’s team raised over $7 million, and generous contributions by individuals, businesses and Rotary Districts were a big part of that success.

El Tour de Tucson is one of the top cycling events in the U.S., attracting Rotarians from Arizona and around the world.

Contributions to support Milward’s 100 mile ride to end polio can be sent to the Rotary Club of La Mirada at P.O. Box 248, La Mirada, CA 90637-0248.  Checks should be made payable to the Rotary Foundation.
