Around 30 people gathered Saturday in support of the Rotary International Worldwide Walk for Polio that was held at the Wilson Brewer Park.
The walk was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Webster City. A freewill offering was collection that will be donated to Rotary International to help fund PolioPlus, the organization which has as it's core, a mission to eradicate polio from the world. $640 was raised by the Webster City club which will assist in the worldwide efforts to eliminate this disease.
Although the world is 99.9% polio free, Afghanistan and Pakistan still face this disease and currently has 56 active cases.
