Martin Parnell completed 56 kms for Move for Polio at Cochrane Crusher Gravel Bike Race on August 21.
From Sue: Thanks again, to everyone who sent me their Move For Polio Kms. The email reminders appear to be working, so I'll keep sending them. I'm very happy to say we cracked the 5,000 mark, with a total of 5,343 kms. Wouldn't it be great if we could reach 10,000 by the end of October? I think we can do it!
