Purple4Polio

As part of the Rotary Club's Purple4Polio campaign the Methodist Church in Stokesley is coloured purple every night this week. Rotary’s pledge for a polio free world was made in 1985 when there were 125 polio endemic countries and hundreds of new cases every single day. In 2017 there were only 22 cases in the entire world but as long as there is one single case anywhere children everywhere are at risk.
