The group have entered the record books for having the most people ever to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the most people flying international flags simultaneously, beating the previous attempt of 143 flags set in 2010.
Rotary and Bridge Climb Sydney will donate 50% of all tickets sold to climb the bridge to the ‘End Polio Now – Make History Today’ campaign.
Mark Molony, Chairperson of Rotary International’s Convention Committee, said: “Since 1985 Rotarians have been working to eradicate polio across the globe and 99% of polio has been eradicated ... this effort in conjunction with Bridge Climb has brought tremendous attention to our efforts”.
The previous record for the most people climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge was set by The Oprah Winfrey Show in December 2010 with 319 people.
