Polio

Do you remember that President Franklin D Rosevelt founded the National foundation for Infantile Paralysis in 1938? It has since been renamed to the March of Dimes. Do you remember Albert Sabin developed the oral polio vacacine (He died 3/3/93)? Did you know in 1953 $70 in dimes was stolen in Alturas from a display there by 3 youths? Did you know the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded Rotary International a challange of $355 million toward the eradication of polio? Do you know what I have in common with Mia Farrow and Itzhak Perlman? We survived polio. It is indisciminate. Did you know that the Rotary Internation goal for 2011 is to finish erradication of Polio? Did you know we have been fighting polio for 23 years?
