Rotarians fight to defeat polio


by Julie Magee_____


SHOPPERS will be stopping in their tracks to -view an emotive window display produced as part of a Rotary Clubs of Clitheroe, Ribblesdale and Pen- dle View initiative to win the war against polio. The clubs have decked out an


unoccupied shop in Castle Street (opposite WH Smith) with posters and shocking sta­ tistics about the devastating effects of polio in a bid to get. the public behind Rotary’s last push to stamp out polio from the world. Members of all three local


clubs are joining forces with more than 55,000 Rotarians across Great Britain and Ire­ land in a co-ordinated effort to finally win the battle with this most debilitating and often ter­ minal diseasa Rotarians nationwide are


aiming to generate over £lm. on one day by forging links -with their local communities and encouraging them to help


Mum’s marathon effort


A FORMER Clitheroe woman whose daughter was bom with a rare medical con­ dition will take part in a 10k. race to raise funds for a chari­ ty which helps the families of children with the condition. Donna Fahey’s daughter


Emma was bom -with a birth defect called a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Sufferers of the condition,


which affects around one in 3,000 babies, have a hole in their diaphragm. This allows intestines and the stomach to develop in the chest cavity, preventing lung growth and squashing the heart. The condition was detected


in Emma during a scan when Donna was 30 weeks’ preg­ nant. She had an operation a t four days old and was kept on


life support afterwards. Babies who survive the


operation are left with breath­ ing and feeding problems and while Emma, whose family now lives in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, is small for her age, she has responded well. Despite the fact th a t


Emma, who has many rela­ tives li-ving in Clitheroe, can now look forward to a normal life, Donna is stiU keen to raise money for Chembs UK. Already the charity’s treas­


urer, Donna will also run the Manchester 10k in May and is appealing for sponsorship or for local people to join her on the run. Anyone who would like to


support the charity or take p ^ in the run should call the charity’s freephone number on : 08007316991.
