EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a remarkable feat of unity and philanthropy. Against the backdrop of Sydney's iconic Harbour Bridge, Rotary members and their friends gather to embark on an audacious mission - breaking not one, but two world records. On that momentous day of May 30,2014, the air was filled with anticipation as these dedicated individuals aimed to surpass previous achievements. With hearts full of determination and flags held high, they set out to make history. Led by Rotary's unwavering spirit, a staggering number of 340 participants conquered the bridge simultaneously – shattering Oprah Winfrey's record from 2008. The jubilant faces in this photograph capture the elation felt by each person who played a part in this triumphant endeavor. But it wasn't just about numbers; it was about embracing diversity and fostering global connections. As if painting the sky with vibrant hues, an astounding array of 219 international flags fluttered proudly above them – eclipsing any previous display ever witnessed on this grand structure. Beyond mere accolades or personal triumphs lies a deeper purpose: raising funds for Rotary's End Polio Now Campaign. This awe-inspiring gathering serves as a testament to humanity's collective will to eradicate disease and create lasting change. Photographer Peter Parks masterfully captures both the magnitude of this event and its profound significance within our society. Through his lens, we are transported into a moment where unity prevails over individuality and hope shines brighter than ever
