My name is Anne Fitzpatrick. I had polio as a toddler in Methven in the early 1950's.
Last year I registered as a polio survivor with Polio NZ. We know there are about 9,000 polio survivors still alive in NZ. We want to get everyone we can registered so that we can build a case with Ministry of Health for getting some needs assessment and services for people who are now experiencing Late Effects of Polio (LEoP, also known as post polio syndrome- PPS).
So if you had polio or know someone who had polio please encourage them to register with Polio NZ. www.polio.org.nz...
I also joined Polio NZ as a member $17.50 per annum!) and have became active in the organisation.
As someone who is experiencing significant deterioration in my polio affected leg, and other new issues that are difficult to know the cause of, I have learnt an enormous amount about LEoP and the myriad of ways that it can impact on the polio survivor either at the time of the virus or much later in life.
So if you had polio, or are a family member, carer or clinician, or just care and want to know more, please consider joining Polio NZ.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.
KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.
