Thank you for making our World Polio Day Livestream event a success. More than 23,000 viewers in 24 countries tuned in to hear health officials give an update on the polio endgame and praise Rotary’s polio eradication achievements. Ironman competitor Minda Dentler delivered a powerful personal account of her life with polio, and reggae star Ziggy Marley dedicated a song during a prerecorded performance.
