Hey everyone, thanks for taking part in this amazing initiative to raise money for Polio eradication! Here are more details:
What?
Our goal is to raise $100,000 for Polio Plus alongside the 30 other Rotary, Rotaract and potentially Interact clubs that are also going to be participating.
When?
The initiative will run from July 1st to October 24th (World Polio day).
How?
To participate in the fundraiser, you can do pledge to do anything that makes you active - be it walking, running, swimming, hiking, meditating, skateboarding, etc.
Eventgroove
We are going to be using Eventgroove, which is a fundraising platform that District 5360 has approved, to use for the Move for Polio initiative.

Measurable and Non-Measurable Activities to record hours
Measurable
• Activities where you can measure the distance you cover.
• These are called: Actual Kilometres (AKM’s).
• Examples of Measurable Activities: Walking, Running, Hiking, Swimming, Canoeing, Skateboarding, In-Line skating.
• For simplicity purposes - conversion of steps to AKM’s:
• 1,250 = 1 km
• 5,000 = 4 km
• 10,000 = 8 km
Non-Measurable
Activities that improve mental health and wellness but cannot be measured by kilometers.
With these we will use an equivalent measure: 15 minutes of Non-Measurable Activity is equal to 1 (one) Equivalent Kilometre (EKM).
Examples of Non- Measurable Activities: Fishing, Meditation, Puzzles, Journaling, Knitting, Reading, Sketching.
Reporting Kilometres
• Club Champions (Don Edie) will encourage all club participants to enter their AKM’s & EKM’s on a regular basis on their club team page (in Eventgroove).
• Club Champions (Don Edie) will follow up with club members on a bi-weekly basis to ensure that AKM’S & EKM’S are up to date.
• Club Champions (Don Edie) will on a regular basis provide motivational updates to members throughout the initiative.
