Cycle to Walk on The Communication Initiative

by Media Coordinator, posted in Press Coverage - Fri, July 18, 2008

Cycle to Walk is an awareness-raising and fund-generating initiative created by a 28-year-old polio survivor who, in April 2008, began riding via hand cycle (an alternative to a conventional bicycle) 7,200 km across Canada. His central goal is to educate people in that country about the continuing need for immunisation against polio as part of a push toward the global eradication of polio. In addition to raising awareness about the disease, Ramesh Ferris hopes to facilitate donations to support the rehabilitation of polio survivors in economically poor countries.
