There was a fantastic turnout for the first Pedal for the Pacific fundraising charity bike ride hosted by Rotary District 9970 on Saturday 20 February. Well over $6,500 was raised thanks to the strong support of most Christchurch Rotary clubs, their supporters and bike riders in general.
This was to support Rotary International’s Give Every Child A Future project, with partner UNICEF, to provide 100,000 children across the Pacific life-saving vaccines. Did you realise that over 6% of children in parts of the Pacific die before they celebrate their 5th birthday, from diseases preventable by vaccines? Help us to help our Pacific neighbours.
