Follow Ramesh's Journey

We kicked off this morning by playing some basketball INSIDE at our host’s home.
Thank you to Bill and Eleanor Edwards of Saskatoon for opening up your beautiful home to the Cycle to Walk team.

Thanks to a wonderful invitation from Rotary District 5550 Governor June Cathcart, Cycle to Walk was able to spread its message of Polio Eradication, Education, and Rehabilitation to several hundred Rotarians hailing from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to Dryden, Ontario – and everywhere in between – as part of their annual District Conference. A special thanks to Doug O’Brien, past 5550 District Governor, as well as the conference committee, for adjusting the agenda to accommodate the Cycle to Walk campaign into your already-full schedule. District Governor Cathcart has supported the Cycle to Walk since day one, and her support has been fantastic. Today was a true demonstration of how Rotary Shares, and Rotary Cares.

It was a particular delight today for the team to meet with international students participating in the Rotary Youth Exchange at the conference. Thanks to Rotary, these students have had the opportunity to live in Canada for the past year and to share their cultures with each other, and their host families.

It’s important for everyone to come together as a global community to rid the world of polio once and for all. It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm for the Cycle to Walk polio campaign expressed by youth from around the globe today. Rotary makes good things happen.

Only together can we eradicate polio once and for all. Thank you to all the Rotarians in District 5550! The team looks forward to meeting with many of you again as we travel across your district over the next several weeks.
