"If we all have the fortitude to see this effort through to the end, then we will eradicate polio." - Bill Gates




Thanks to Rotary and its partners, the world has seen polio cases plummet by more than 99 percent, preventing five million instances of child paralysis and 250,000 deaths. When Rotary began its eradication work, polio infected more than 350,000 children annually. In 2011, fewer than 1,000 cases were reported worldwide.

But the polio cases represented by that final 1 percent are the most difficult and expensive to prevent. Challenges include geographic isolation, worker fatigue, armed conflict, and cultural barriers.


That’s why it’s so important to generate the funding needed to End Polio Now. To fail is to invite a polio resurgence that would condemn millions of children to lifelong paralysis in the years ahead.



The bottom line is this: As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, all children — wherever they live — remain at risk.

What I carry in my Glomesh bag, sorry Rocket top











From Katrina :  I remember an advertisement which was doing the rounds of the  women's magazines years  ago -  with the  heading: "What does celebrity-so-and-so carry in her Glomesh bag ?" -  and there would be a  photo of the handbag contents disembowelled, always including some trappings from a glamorous life (theatre ticket stubs, receipts from upmarket stores , photo of celebrity boyfriend etc).  Well here is the cyclists' equivalent :  "What I carry in the pockets of my riding top ".  For the uninitiated , the riding shirt usually has 3 pockets at the back (see photo of the 3 pockets in my "Rocket" top).  ).  I defy anyone to pack more into 3 pockets than this   ... spare tube, camera, phone, lipstick of course, hanky of course, banana, muesli bar, fluoro rain jacket, arm warmers , leg warmers, medications, sunscreen, money, credit card, house and car keys, photo of celebrity boyfriend and more ...  that's what I carry in my Glomesh , sorry cycling,  top (Now ....  a Glomesh top -that's a thought !)

    You can go over your maximum heart rate - ventricular fibrillation wriggles at about 500/min, but not for long, unless you get CPR.
    Can't you fit the Proctosedyl in the Rocket top?
