The main objective of Polio Foundation is to help the physically handicapped children by way of corrective surgery and giving them necessary appliances so that they can walk on their feet without anybody's assistance.

A short tribute film on Gwen Frostic, the legendary Michigan artist who died on April 25, 2001 — the day before her 95th birthday. Frostic was owner and president of a multi-million publishing company in Benzonia, Michigan. As a child, she contracted polio and it affected her walk and her speech. But it never affected her ability to create intricate designs faithful to nature. She continued to work until days before died. The interview with Frostic that I did for this film was done six months before her death. This film is narrated by my friend Huel Perkins. A film by Steve Palackdharry. Gwen Frostic

Seán Mac Diarmada (February 28, 1883 May 12, 1916) (born John MacDermott, usually used the name Sean MacDermott) was one of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland. In 1910 Mac Diarmada was stricken with polio and forced to walk with a cane. In November 1913 Mac Diarmada was one of the original members of the Irish Volunteers, and continued to work to bring that organization under IRB control. In May 1915 Mac Diarmada was arrested in Tuam, County Galway, under the Defense of the Realm Act for giving a speech against enlisting into the British Army.Following his release in September 1915, he joined the secret Military Committee of the IRB, which was responsible for planning the rising. Indeed Mac Diarmada and Clarke were the people most responsible for it.Due to his disability, Mac Diarmada took little part in the fighting of Easter week, but was stationed at the headquarters in the General Post Office. Following the surrender, he nearly escaped execution by blending in with the large body of prisoners. He was eventually recognized by Daniel Hoey of G Division. A British Officer, Lee-Wilson, ordered Mac Diarmada to be shot, rather than imprisoned, and snapped his cane and forced him to limp to Kilmainham Gaol. Following a court-martial on May 9, Mac Diarmada was executed by firing squad on May 12 at the age of 33.In September 1919 Hoey was shot dead by Michael Collins' Squad. The British Officer, Lee-Wilson was also killed on Collins's order in Cork during the Irish War of Independence.Seán MacDermott Street in Dublin is named in his honour. So too is Mac Diarmada rail station in Sligo. A Tribute to...

As faras I know, HUSHABYE was not one of them,since it had already been recorded byThe MYSTICS.Yet, this would have been a great song forElvis with which to serenade the youngPriscilla Beaulieu.

Polio changed Harley Flather's life and those of his parents as well. Stricken at a very young age, Harley and his parents wondered if he was ever going to walk again. During the first two to three weeks in contagion, Harley feared he would not survive as he had no contact with anybody except his doctors and caregivers until he was out of contagion. That was 1949. Since then, Mayo Clinic has changed Harley's life again, but this time for the better. Watch this video to learn how Mayo has kept him going in various procedures, which according to Harley, make his life worth living.
