"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.

Mt Dandenong training ride

This ride was a little more ambitious. It was Kew to Mount Dandenong via Canterbury Road and return via the 1:20. It was an "out and back" ride with a loop that went Bayswater North, Montrose, Kalorama, Mount Dandenong, Olinda, Sassafras, The Basin. Nice view of Silvan Reservoir but Kalorama to Mount Dandenong was quite steep. A fine day but rather hazy. 79 km at average 18km/hour. Managed the hills on the way there, but my main problem on the way home was cramps in my legs. Obviously not fit enough yet! Katrina was going to join me on the ride but she got b(l)ogged down, again! Katrina found a web site, www.bikely.com, which is good for planning rides. In addition to a map, quite a lot of useful route information is included. However, I wouldn't recommend the ride I did (between noon and 6pm) because for most of the way there are no bike lanes and traffic was heavy on Canterbury Road. Mont Albert Road does have bike lanes, and is better than Canterbury Road for that part of the route- from Bruce. By the way ..... if you are new to our blog and would lke to make a donation to help end polio, lease follow the following link called ....."how to donate" thank you !
