Earlier this month, our club heard Recil Skinner speak about her life with polio, and how she continues to support the defeat of this worldwide virus. Her video presentation is still available on our ClubRunner homepage.
Most know it as poliovirus. The virus is spread person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can attack the nervous system, and in some instances, lead to paralysis. Although there is no cure, there is a safe and effective vaccine – one which Rotary and our partners use to immunize over 2.5 billion children worldwide.
