Ann Lee Hussey discusses her life with polio, the polio epidemics, and how polio relates to COVID-19. Ann Lee has made the eradication of polio and the alleviation of suffering by polio survivors her life's work. In the past 12 years she has actively participated in 25 volunteer NID (National Immunization Days) teams organizing and leading the last 18 teams herself, choosing to take those NIDs to places that do not often see westerners – Chad, Mali, Bangladesh, Niger, Nigeria as well as less "touristy" destinations in Egypt and India – where the need is greatest and where the publicity and goodwill surrounding the trip are as critical as the immunizations themselves to help communicate the need for eradication. She is determined that no child will needlessly have to suffer what she herself, a polio survivor, has been through. Ann Lee's work has earned her a Champion of Change award from President Barack Obama, the International Service Award for a Polio-Free World, and the Rotary Service Above Self Award.
