"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.

The famous Canberra Team Pill and more






This is our 11th post - scroll down to see the others ...Team Pill ... We are privileged to have been admitted to the exalted ranks of Team Pill, a famous elite bike riding group from Canberra. Pictured are some Team Pillers in their Team Pill tops - which depict a pill for just about every calamity which can befall a bike rider- chill pill, help pill, parked car pill, pain buster pill, Mt Lofty pill, pass me pill, last lap pill, cramp pill, totally lost pill etc etc
Thank you Team Pillers !

What new pills might we need on this ride ??

The Great Divide Pill, Yet Another 100 km Day Pill, Blog Pill maybe ?
For Bruce a Get Out of Bed pill ?
For Katrina an Answer the Mobile Pill?
and of course a Polio Pill - we are doing well with that one - we have received over $4000 in sponsorships so far !! Thank you everybody - you have been amazingly generous. We have received sponsorships from children, teenagers, people on disability pensions, from Rotarians, and non-Rotarians and from tinkers, tailors, soldiers, sailors, rich men, poor men, beggarmen, thief(s), doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs . Thank you one and all
Just to remind you - donations are tax deductible, details of how to donate are on this blog page .. all cobblestone and bitumen donors receive some greeting cards, as a thank you from us.
You could not do anything better with a little bit of money than helping prevent children from contracting polio. Congratulate yourselves ! (no pill needed for that !)
