| From July 21, 2009 to August 22, 2009, David Salai rode a 2,300 mile solo cross-country bicycle ride
to support the eradication of polio in the world. With help from strangers, new friends, and many kind Rotarians,
he was able to complete the journey. He endured nine flats, two replacement tires, six broken spokes,
locked-up gears and even a three-hour ride through a 40-degree rainstorm. Even averaging six hours of
riding per day, he managed to attend five Rotary meetings along the way. David's heroic and historic
ride and his commitment to helping others around the world exemplifies Rotary International's motto of "Service above Self." |
