"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.

El Nino and El Nina


As promised, we feature today our riders Alicia and Tony Thomas .  They ride 3 times a week.  Alicia has Italian heritage- in honour of that, and their dogged devotion to cycling, they are to wear the Nino Borsari badge of honour - and henceforth will be known as El Nino and El Nina ... photo to follow.
