Description

Jared Kosanovic, has completed his Ride to End Polio across the continental United States.

Jared  was a participant in the totally self-supported BikeNonStop.com race  that began at Trillium Crossing in Portland, Oregon on June 27, 2021;   Jared crossed the finish line today, July 21st,  at the Lincoln  Memorial in Washington, DC.

When  Jared heard that Austrian Rotarian Kurt Matzler could not participate  in the annual Race Across America, he established a fundraising link to  The Rotary Foundation, choosing polio eradication as the focus of his  ride.  Along the 3,472 mile route, wearing the Rotary Ride to End Polio  jersey, he raised awareness and over $6,300 for Rotary's Polio initiative,  surpassing his initial goal of $1/mile.
