Ewan McGregor highlights polio challenge
A fantastic programme was shown on BBC2, Sunday 22nd April. Cold Chain, by Ewan McGregor, highlighted the incredible journey of the polio vaccine in India. Ewan is a Unicef UK Ambassador, one of Rotary's partners in the polio fight.
There is a lot more to the polio fight than raising funds. Soaring temperatures, dangerous road trips by bike along narrow mountain trails and unreliable ferries add to the risks taken by volunteers, including local Rotarians, in delivering and administering the vaccine.
Watch Cold Chain on BBC iPlayer and help the End Polio Now campaign by fundraising or even going to India with fellow Rotarians to administer the vaccine in Delhi and Lucknow.
