One Day, One Focus, Ending Polio.
World Polio Day (Oct. 24th) is a time for Rotary members, public health advocates, and all who want a world free from polio to come together, recognize our progress in the fight to end polio, and talk about the actions we need to take in order to end polio for good. Support me in riding 25 miles (Rotary District 5790 Pedaling for Polio) with your donation, so that "Together, we End Polio."

The Facts
1) Polio mainly affects children under age 5.
2) There is no cure, but polio is preventable with a vaccine.
3) Only two countries remain endemic.
4) We’ve reduced cases by 99.9% since 1988.
5) Until we end polio forever, every child is at risk.

October is Polio Month and Rotary District 5790 is having a biking fundraiser on October 27th. For those who cannot participate, I am creating a page for Kennedale Rotary Club to be able to raise funds for the eradication of polio. We are SOOOO close to eradication. This is a disease which used to devastate mostly children all over the world. Now it is limited to Pakistan and Afghanistan. However, with the globalization comes world-wide spread of viruses. This virus needs to be STOPPED. The Gates Foundation matches Rotary donations 2:1 so your donation of $10 becomes $30!!!! Donate today and make the world a healthier place.

One of the high points of my life was my trip to India to give polio vaccine to children as part of a National Immunization Day!
Once again, I will be donning my stretchy bike pants to raise money for the fight against polio! Please help me reach my goal to raise $10,000! All donations are matched 2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation!
