Dear Fellow Rotarians:

The other day I mentioned to my lovely wife, Yvette, that Polio Awareness Month is coming up, and I was thinking of having her create some sort of “End Polio” running shirt for the Columbus Marathon. She replied that she didn’t think we had polio anymore (her Dad had polio). I explained that there are still a handful of cases...mostly in remote regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and we are Rotarians, so we won’t stop until polio is completely eradicated. I said, "Rotary is so close to helping to end this terrible disease from the planet, but we need that final push."

We will be raising funds during October towards this endeavor. World Polio Day is Oct. 24, and District 6690 has set a goal of each club to raise $1,500 to help end polio. We have a few ideas in the hopper and will have more details of those plans in the coming weeks. Every dollar we raise in October will be matched 2 to 1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Through our polio eradication efforts, we are taking action to create lasting change! If this link works, take a minute to watch this video on how far we have come towards ending polio and what else we can do! https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=skD0NAoK9OM
