You may never have seen an iron lung, or know anyone who had polio as a kid. You may not personally even remember when polio was a threat. You may question why Rotary International still makes this effort to eradicate the disease in other parts of the world when children here don't get polio any more.
There are only two people in America who still live with an iron lung. Here is the story of one of them. Take a few minutes to read this and then, if you can, send in your PolioPlus contribution.
