The inaugural Pull for Polio, run by the STamp Out Polio Rotary Club, is in the books! 34 lifters took part, ranging in age from 10 to 80, including 3 Rotarians, Jennifer Baxter, Thie Convery and Kanwal Shankardass. Of note, five kids under the age of 13, and 4 teens represented our youth, while we had every decade represented, including multiple folks in their 50s and 60s, and our 70, and 80 year old, respectively!
The weather cooperated in our favour, and the Rotary Club of Dundas’ pancake breakfast provided all the carbs a lifter could want.

We have already raised (from our Rotary crowdfunding page) $13,768! Cash donations are also still to be accounted. Here is our link to donate via Rotary’s own crowdfunding site: https://raise.rotary.org/Frances-Manias/challenge. We will continue to solicit funds via the main page until the end of July.
Rotarians and friends of Rotary participated in helping this event run smoothly. From our set-up and tear-down crew, to our head judge, to our announcer and score table staff, to our spotters and loaders, registration table and draw prize organizers, we came together seamlessly.
