Cycle to Walk aims to raise funds and awareness to forward the global eradication of polio, to educate about the continuing need for immunization against polio and to support the rehabilitation of polio survivors in poor countries.

Get Involved

As the Cycle to Walk campaign rolls across Canada, Ramesh and the road team may be stopping in your community or passing close by. This may be your opportunity to help out the campaign with our various needs. Please read the following and see if you are able to provide us with a little help along the way:

  • Set up a fundraiser or speaking engagement in your community. Contact our office for ideas, or give us yours. You can also create your own fundraising page online! Click here to do so.
  • Identification of potential speaking engagements at local service clubs, churches or interested businesses and organizations. As time will be limited in each community, we would like to know what if any groups might be interested, but would like to reserve the ability to confirm actual arrangements ourselves.
  • Help us to identify services available in your community: i.e. swimming pools; bicycle repair shops; massage therapists; physiotherapy clinics; sports medicine physician offices; media outlets and any other community information that would be helpful to the team on their journey.
  • Route information: i.e., pullouts; rest areas; service stations; road conditions (construction; narrow; road restrictions; dangerous points, etc.); police and other regulatory authority requirements and contact numbers; local road and weather conditions that might be expected for that time of year; restaurant and hotel/motel/campground accommodations.
  • The possibility of donation of hotel rooms or billeting would be very valuable to us as we are operating on a very limited budget and the road team will be in need of a place to rest their heads at night.

We appreciate any help you may be able to provide! Please get in touch if you can help in any way.
