"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.

Bike Computers
How technology has changed since I got my first bike 57 years ago. I was so proud of my Healing "semi-racer" with Sturmey Archer 3 speed Hub gears. It had a mechanical odometer which worked with a pin attached to a spoke, striking a star-shaped wheel each rotation, to record distance travelled in miles and tenths of miles. I now have a Sigma computer, which although not the most sophisticated, tells me that on my training ride yesterday, I travelled 22.36 km in 1hour 7 minutes and 35 seconds at an average speed of 19.86 km per hour. My maximum speed on that trip was 46.62 km/hour (downhill with a tail wind)!
Although I know the total distance I have done in training, it is somewhat short of what I should have done, but there is still time to fit in some long rides before 13th March! Bruce
