They joined Rotarians around the world to raise funds and awareness in the fight to eradicate polio – a preventable disease that still threatens children across the world.
Polio cases across the globe have plummeted by more than 99.9 percent, from about 350,000 incidents a year to just 22 in 2017.
“Three countries still fight polio: Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan,” said Susan Falodun, a member of Rotary Club Windsor (1918). “India has been declared polio-free since 2014.”
Rotary clubs have committed to raising US$50 million per year to continue the fight against the disease.
