Do you know anyone has survived Polio? Well Our club was inspired by the story of Nancy Gier, a polio survivor and author.
As most people know Rotary International, through the more than 35,000 clubs word wide,
is dedicated to the extinction of the Polio virus.
Nancy lives with Post Polio-syndrome which It is characterized by a set of health problems, such as muscle weakness, fatigue (mental and physical), and pain from joint deterioration, that begins about 15 to 40 years after the initial poliovirus infection. PPS affects between 25 and 40 out of every 100 polio survivors.
