Join Story Buettner and Rotary International in a pivotal movement to end polio once and for all. In this enlightening video, Story takes us on a journey through the history and ongoing battle against polio, illustrated by the poignant symbol of an iron lung. This device serves as a stark reminder of the devastating effects polio can have on the body, challenging the misconception that polio is a disease of the past.

Despite being unheard of in many parts of the world, polio continues to affect children in developing countries, threatening not just their health but global financial stability. This video sheds light on the critical need for polio eradication to prevent the paralysis of hundreds of thousands of children worldwide. Story outlines how eradicating polio can lead to improved lives, bolster children's health, secure future investments, save financial resources, and mark one of the greatest public health achievements in history by eliminating only the second human disease after smallpox.
