    Message for October 2016The race to the finish

    Kalyan Banerjee Trustee Chair

    Message for October 2016Celebrate World Polio Day on 24 October

    In our work to end polio, we've noticed a disturbing development: People in many parts of the world think polio no longer exists. Even some of our members, especially younger Rotarians who were born after the development of the polio vaccine, assume that because the disease doesn't afflict anyone in their country, it's no longer a problem.

    To make everyone aware that this disease is just an airplane ride away, Rotary started World Polio

    Day, held annually in October. Over the y e a r s , w e h a v e m a r k e d t h i s occasion in various ways. Clubs have held fundraisers or l i t u p i c o n i c structures in their country with the words End Polio N o w . M o r e recently, we created l i v e - s t r e a m e d events featuring prominent public health experts and journalists, along with some of our c e l e b r i t y

    ambassadors.This year, we partnered with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which will host a live-streamed event at its headquarters in Atlanta. (Taking into consideration different time zones, the event will be immediately archived so your club may watch it at a time that is convenient.) Tom Frieden, the CDC's director, and Jeffrey Kluger, Time magazine's senior editor overseeing science and

    health reporting, will be joined by other public health experts to discuss the milestones, promising developments, and remaining challenges in the fight to eradicate polio.

    But we want Rotarians to observe World Polio

    Day everywhere, not just in Atlanta. In fact, we

    would like to see at least 1,000 World Polio Day

    events take place throughout the world. I

    encourage you to host viewing parties of the live-

    streamed event and organise fundraisers. Be sure

    t o r e g i s t e r y o u r e v e n t a t

    www.endpolio.org/worldpolioday, where you

    can also find resources to help make it a success.

    Polio is still out there, even though the number of

    cases has dropped by more than 99.9 percent

    since 1988. We're almost there, but until the

    number of cases reaches zero, polio remains a

    threat to all of us. World Polio Day offers an

    opportunity to share that vital message with your

    club and your community.

    Kalyan Banerjee

    Foundation Trustee Chair

    Dear Fellow Rotarians

    In 1979, James Bomar Jr., the president of Rotary at the time, travelled to the Philippines as part of Rotary's earliest work to immunise children against polio. After he had put drops of vaccine into one baby's mouth, he felt a child's hand tugging on his trouser leg to get his attention.

    Bomar looked down and saw the baby's brother looking up at him, saying earnestly, Thank you, thank you, Rotary.

    Before Rotary took on the task of polio eradication, 350,000 people nearly all of them children were paralysed by polio every year. That child in the Philippines knew exactly what polio was and understood exactly what Rotary had just done for his baby brother. Today, 31 years after the launch of PolioPlus, the children of the Philippines and of nearly every other country in the world are growing up without that knowledge, and that fear, of polio. Instead of 1,000 new cases of polio every day, we are averaging less than one per week. But as the fear of polio wanes, so does awareness of the disease. Now more than ever, it is vitally important to keep that awareness high and to push polio eradication to the top of the public agenda and our

    governments' priorities. We need to make sure the world knows that our work to eradicate polio isn't over yet, but that Rotary is in it to end it.On 24 October, Rotary will mark World Polio Day to help raise the awareness and the funding we need to reach full eradication. I ask all of you to take part by holding an event in your club, in your community, or online. Ideas and materials are available for download in all Rotary languages at endpolio.org/worldpolioday, and you can register your event with Rotary at the same link. You can also join me and tens of thousands of your fellow Rotarians for a live-streamed global status update at 6 p.m. Eastern time at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. I'll be there along with CDC Director Tom Frieden, other experts, and inspirational presenters, sharing an inside look at the science, partnerships, and human stories of polio eradication.

    It is an incredibly exciting time to be a Rotarian. We are gathering momentum for the final race to the finish: to the end of PolioPlus and the beginning of a polio-free world. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance to End Polio Now, through Rotary Serving Humanity.
