Our main Speaker will be Bob Mutchler from the Rotary Club of Folsom. Bob has an amazing story to tell about his life growing up with polio and his dedication to educate people about the need to eradicate polio throughout the world. Bob’s story is based on his autobiography “From Iron Lung to Iron Butt”.
Bob was diagnosed with polio when he was not even a year old and, like many polio survivors, understands first hand how life-altering polio can be. Yet he and his family refused to let the challenges of this debilitating disease affect his future. As an adult Bob combined his membership in Rotary and his love of motorcycle riding to help with The Rotary Foundation’s commitment to provide polio immunization to children everywhere through PolioPlus. This is the gripping story of a man who knows from his own experiences exactly what a “world without polio” can mean to children and families. Crisscrossing Australia and North America on his motorcycle, “Motorcycle Bob” shares his own personal struggles as he tirelessly dedicates himself to the eradication of polio worldwide.
