Last Sunday, the “Polio Walk” took place organized by the Rotary Auch Armagnac. It takes place like every year, at the Grand Comté estate of Roquelaure, estate of Michel Baylac. On the program: two hikes, one of 4 and the other of 8 kilometers, on a route prepared by Jean-Pierre Calvez, the president of the association, the Cœur de Gascogne hiking club. Note the presence of MP Jean-René Cazeneuve: “I had seen this planned operation in the “Dépêche du Midi” and I came with pleasure! My presence was essential, as I do for a certain number of causes.
Also present is Mélusine, president of Rotarac. This event serves the eradication of polio worldwide. Laurent Trinqué, the president of Rotary Auch Armagnac, relaunched the members of the association and invited them to mobilize for this World Polio Day. “We are raising awareness regarding polio and garnering support for our global effort to ensure every child is protected from the disease. We are tenacious, hopeful and committed, with the drive to make polio the second-largest human disease. be eradicated (following smallpox).” He continued: “Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years and we have never been closer to our goal. Rotary members help immunize more than 400 million children once morest polio every year and contribute countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this disease. Polio today remains only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Ending polio remains the “Rotary’s number one goal.” There were around fifty of them braving the weather and ended with a well-earned aperitif and a very copious buffet.
