>> "But people in their 20s and early 30s simply did not know. It was greatly disturbing. As a society we make a great effort to keep reminding people of the horrors of World War II, and yet we are on the verge of largely forgetting about this ancient disease." Is this not a positive thing? I'm in my early 20's and only know one person (they are much older and I don't know them well) with polio. That's great. The fact that we are on the verge of forgetting is because it's largely irrelevant or gone in most countries. Also great. >> "One of the major challenges we ran into while fundraising was getting young people to care. Older folks were very generous" Was this because young people were not as aware of polio or is this a more general trend in charity donations (that older people give more)?
