This Nov., I’ll ride 102 miles in @tourdetucson for the 14th time 🏜️🚴 As long as polio exists anywhere, children everywhere remain at risk. Here’s why I’m still riding to end it: on.rotary.org/4iAeELJ

What keeps someone committed to Rotary for decades? In my conversation with Rotary International President Yinka Babalola, he shared a simple but powerful idea: Ask any Rotary member how Rotary has changed them, and you'll hear a unique story. on.rotary.org/4im112E

Rotary members ride to raise funds for @EndPolioNow, and together we’ve raised more than $77 million for eradication efforts, including matching funds from the Gates Foundation. I’m proud to keep that effort going by cycling in @tourdetucson. Help us create a polio-free world: on.rotary.org/4iHpctH

In a divided world, the quest to #EndPolio continues to unite us. Polio cases are down by 99.9%. But 99.9% is unfinished business. With sustained commitment from governments and partners, we will finish the job and deliver a polio-free world for every child. #WorldPolioDay

On #WorldPolioDay, I am reminded that our commitment to ending #polio goes far beyond the virus itself. The people, expertise and systems built through this work are also helping countries respond to other health emergencies. Proud of what we do together, and determined to finish the job. #EndPolio

What does the “Plus” in PolioPlus mean? 🧐 In Pakistan, polio vaccination efforts help communities access more than vaccines👇 Rotary & its partners are supporting clean water, disease education, and access to healthcare: on.rotary.org/3Uy8NP0 #EndPolio #WorldPolioDay

Fun riddle: What do a mini cooler, nail polish, and the color purple have in common?  @RotaryInternational sent us these items because each piece represents a tool in their global effort to #EndPolio. Polio still affects children around the world, and there's no cure, but safe and effective vaccines can prevent it.  * Coolers keep life-saving vaccines stable in extreme climate conditions. * A purple pinkie is a global symbol for a child's polio immunization. * October 24th is World Polio Day! As a #Rotary member and supporter, I invite you to visit endpolio.org to learn more, spread the word, and paint your pinkies to keep the world moving toward a polio-free future. #WorldPolioDay #PurplePinkie

The first Rotary International polio immunization project occurred in the Philippines in 1979—and we're still working to eradicate polio today. Archivists play a crucial role in preserving the stories of yesterday that inspire us to take action today. #EndPolio #WorldPolioDay

On 21 Nov., I'll ride 102 miles in #ElTourdeTucson with fellow @Rotary members to support @EndPolioNow. Through Miles To End Polio, cyclists have helped raise more than US$77 million for this effort.

There are window seats, and then there are window seats. We prefer these. CLT’s rocking chairs have been a traveler favorite since 1997.
