August 2026 Newsletter
Inside this Issue:
Advocating for Polio Awareness - Whether the opportunity is seen nationally or in our own local communities, our Network Team stays active in various ways to bring awareness to the reality of the lifelong effects of this terrible disease.
Working with investigative reporter Liz Szabo was a special opportunity. She had “heard” about the late effects of polio, and worked for months to really understand it.
Survivor Joe Randig heard that his local library was doing interviews with members of their community. His story was told in a truthful and meaningful way.
