During the week 23rd February to 1st March 2009, Rotary clubs throughout District 1240held numerous events to raise money to help eradicate polio once and for all, supporting the Rotary International End Polio Now programme– one of the world’s biggest ever immunisation programmes.
Polio has no cure. It is a crippling and potentially fatal disease and children under the age of five are at greatest risk. However Polio is easy to prevent by vaccination that costs just 50p. When a child is vaccinated, they have a purple stamp put on their little finger – giving them a Purple Pinkie.
