PDG Ron Neukomm describes some of the hard work and early projects embarked on by Rotarians in the 1988 to 2000 battle to raise funds for Polio Plus.

Fortunately, because of this hard work and dedication by Rotarians, volunteers and gracious sponsors, many of our younger generation have not had to deal with or become associated with the horrible disease, Polio Militias.

Those that have been exposed directly or indirectly, reflect back with tremendous respect and awe for those that were afflicted and survived.  Sorrow for those that did not survive, and renewed commitment to see the Battle to the very end.
