HD PHYSICAL THERAPY to Take the Polar Plunge

WAKEFIELD, Mass. - Jan. 10, 2017 - PRLog -- Wakefield/Rotary District 7930 is holding its 7th Annual Polar Plunge on Saturday, February 4th, at 11:15am, on Long Beach in Gloucester, right in front of the Cape Ann Motor Inn.

This year's TEAM HDPT plungers include Wakefield Rotary Club member and HDPT co-founder Ed Harding, PTA, along with HDPT co-founder Glenn D'Addario, MSPT, DPT, and staff members, Svet Wilson, PTA, ATC, Robbie Barletta, PTA, Sean Flaherty, PT, OCS, Steve Sheridan, MSPT, Chris Foster, Dan McCallum, Ashley Aldred and Meaghan Colleran. We also have HDPT family members Diarmuid Cahill and Courtney Bowen joining us!

Team captain Ed explains, "for as little as 60 cents worth of an oral vaccine, a child can be protected from this terrible disease for life. The plunge event is fun for everyone, but the real money we raise directly translates to thousands of vaccines. It is an amazing feeling to know that we have a hand in preventing a crippling disease from affecting children."

After over 20 years of hard work, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of eradicating polio; a strong push is needed now to eliminate it once and for all. Donations directly support immunization campaigns in developing countries where polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them of their futures and compounding the hardships faced by their families.

All proceeds benefit The Rotary Foundation's End Polio Now Campaign. Plus, all gifts are matched 2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation!
