"One thing polio taught me is that nothing is impossible to achieve -- it just takes more time and a refusal to give up."

WHY POLIO SURVIVORS in the 21st CENTURY?
In September 2006 I began a website and a forum to try and reach out to polio survivors. I spent over $400 to have a logo created. The logo is worth a thousand words. When we, most as babies and young children, came down with polio (based on my experience) we began to recover in stages...
1. In a wheelchair
2. With leg braces
3. With crutches
We learned to stand with the leg braces and walk with crutches and we let the wheelchair go! In time some of us gave up the crutches and then the braces. We were active in our lives, nothing, not even the residuals of polio could hold us back in our goals! Then when we reached our 40’s and 50’s we began to go back to wearing braces, then using crutches and eventually (I’m not there yet)……the wheelchair……that’s where my logo came in…..STANDING then....the WHEELCHAIR.
Now we, the survivors have moved into the 21st Century, our lives are changing. There are few to no doctors left who understand polio. Few to no medical professionals know how to help those of us with residuals of polio. I often feel alone when I feel not only extreme physical fatigue but also “mental fatigue”. I need to know “up to date” information for doctors and other medical resources I can depend on. I need to know that what I’m going through is not my imagination. I need to know……
the list goes on and who better to understand my concerns than those who have been through what I have and am going through?
Sincerely,
-James-

Message from Keith Moore
A Message from Keith Moore....
I'm a fellow Polio Survivor who was hit with the virus in 1956 at the age of 10 month's old and it left me with a deformed right leg, a bummed up hip and the worst spinal arthritis that you can imagine! I'm disabled but I'm not dead...lol. I'm here to let everyone know that there's a new awakening at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation (Georgia) for all Polio Survivor's and a doctor by the name of Cathy Hogan who is dedicated and sincere about our needs. We need to get the word out about this because she is determined to make sure that we are not forgotten and that we get the care that we need. If it's one thing that I know for sure it's that all of us may have to deal with some kind of after affects from our experience with this disease sooner or later. We are very lucky to have someone who is looking out for us and all people who suffer from a debilitating situation like ours. Franklin D. Roosevelt would be so, so proud! I urge you to help me pass this news on, so we can help all of the lives around the world that "are" and "yet" to suffer from Polio(especially children in third world countries). I am a very Spiritual person and I have no doubts about how this all came about. Thanks for listening and if there is anything, anything at all, that I can do for anyone, Please let me know....
