LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The Lima Rotary Club heard an update on the fight against polio. 

With World Polio Day coming up on Oct. 24, the Lima Rotary is revisiting the core mission of Rotary International. The Rotary Club brought in Dr. Susan Hubbell to talk about where society stands with Polio in 2019. She said when Rotary International began fighting Polio in 1979 there were hundreds of thousands of cases. This year there are only 66 cases in two countries. Hubbell said Lima Rotary has been helping with fundraising efforts the last four or five years and are just beginning their campaign this year.
