Every human being comes to the world with a cry....the cry of LIFE!!! In End Polio campaign, the common passion to end this LIFE crippling disease was the sole factor that brought us out to the streets. Everyone of us wanted to put an end to poliomielitis!
Third day running, today's city funride was taken lightly by many full route riders. Dr Jeffrey forgot his shoes whereas Eva forgot her gloves. While Claudine forgot her full assemble of gloves, helmets and armbands.....many others, forgot to return for today's finale!!!
We were all more relaxed today knowing it is a short ride. More so, after receiving news on Anna's miraculous escape from harm. Other than bruises, she did not suffer any nor fractures. In fact, our gutsy lady had driven herself home the very same evening!
Without a helmet, Claudine had picked up a spare one from Eva's house. Without breakfast, she had swallowed 3 huge bites of her "kan lou mien" before hitting the road! Mr Pang, her breakfast partner was left on his own.

The ride into the city was short and simple except everyone had to conquer the 3 bridges that traverses Sg Danga's tributaries. There was a short regrouping point just before Istana Bukit Serene before a final stop at the central post office. Returning the same way after a long break, everyone waited even longer for their Certificates of Participation or Achievements. Nonetheless, many of us sat out the long wait at Restoran Piao Xiang.

Robert returned to Singapore the same way he had arrived. He was driven to the city whereupon he pedal powered home. This time though, having made friends with his fellow countryman, he no longer haul his heavy back pack on his shoulders. It was brought home to him by Chee Wee.

By noon, the local newspapers has started circulating about Rotary's End Polio campaign. At least, the selfless ride by many had driven a chord. And while we vanguards return home, our fellow Rotarians' work ...... is yet done!!!
