Brilliant coverage on BBC of Rotarians immunizing children in India from Polio

5 days to go. Woke up this morning to new registrations from India and Pakistan, and a further registration from an Interact club in Canada took us up to 108 officially entered clubs in India.

So still extremely busy on the sign ups front even with just a few days to go.

Tell you where else has been busy today - The BBC news rooms. We have had incredible coverage across the BBC Today Radio 4 show, Jeremy Vine show on Radio 2, BBC main news at 1pm and 6pm. Chief BBC medical correspondent Fergus Walsh @bbcferguswalsh on twitter if you want to take a look has made several reports from Delhi, and has been alongside some 500 Rotarians from Britain and Ireland who are taking part in the ongoing immunization of an incredible 170 million children this year in India alone.

Makes me all the more determined to help everyone taking part around the world raise as much money as possible - however many hours it takes, whatever the commitment - I'll give everything I've got to support you all the way. Please watch this inspiring clip and read the article.

Tommorow am, RIBI President Ray Burman will be featured live on BBC breakfast news - watch this space!
