Rise Together: A movement challenge only on

24 April – 24 May • UK & global 

The world has made huge strides against polio, with cases down 99.9% since 1988—but the last stretch is the toughest. That’s where you come in.

Rise Together is a movement challenge designed to unite communities in the UK—and around the world—through physical activity while driving awareness and action to achieve a polio-free future for all.

Join the challenge here!

From 24 April – 24 May, Rise Together is inviting people to Strava to take part and contribute towards the collective goal of completing 40 million minutes of movement: for the 20 million people able to walk today that to efforts against polio and the 20 million health workers and volunteers dedicated to ending polio.

The challenge is designed to be inclusive and accessible, inviting people of all abilities to take part, whether it’s running, cycling, swimming, wheelchair biking, or any activity that motivates them.

As with any challenge, we are stronger as a team—so let’s Rise Together and show that we are all united behind the dream of a polio-free world for kids everywhere.
