Judith Diment is a Rotary Advocate for Polio Eradication and has raised significant sums of money towards this cause in recent years. She noted the recent setback with the terrible murders of the polio nurses but said that our drive to eradicate polio must continue. In 2012 there was a 60% reduction in the number of cases worldwide (240 cases in Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan) and she is part of a team of advocates pressing governments to continue their financial support for this cause.
