Rotary Ride to End Polio

Thanks girl the shout out John Hewko!

I had no idea that my life was about to change for the better when I stepped onto a water taxi in Bangkok in May 2012.
Rotary members from around the world were together for the Rotary International Convention, and I happened to be on a boat with Rotarians from Arizona.
They knew I was an avid cyclist, so they told me that Rotary clubs in southern Arizona were supporting polio eradication by raising money with El Tour de Tucson.

At the Ride to End Polio’s pre-ride dinner, our Rotary Youth Exchange student from Japan, Kaoru, gave a great presentation. He talked about - and showed slides of - his life in Japan, his time in Arizona (so far), and the goals he has for his year with us.
One goal was to ride in El Tour de Tucson with the Rotary team.
It’s so uplifting to see the positive impact Rotary’s Youth Exchange program can make in a young person’s life.
