We had heard how these books can make life better from Shirley-anne Lewis of the RNIB so a few of us set off to see the RNIB's London recording studios in action. What we saw and heard convinced us that sponsoring a Talking Book wouuld be a very worthwhile and rewarding project.

Fighting Polio
Poliomyelitis
Poliomyelitis is highly infectious and affects the nervous system, sometimes resulting in paralysis. It's transmitted through contaminated food, drinking water, faeces and swimming pool water.
Someone who has been infected with Polio may experience slowly progressive muscle weakness. Often, joint pains occur in the affected limbs and increasing skeletal deformities, such as scoliosis, develop. Fatigue is often present.
Polio mainly affects people who haven't been immunised. Many parts of the world are now polio-free following successful Rotary immunisation programmes.
