“Ramesh Ferris is traveling 400 kilometres every ten days from B.C. to Newfoundland to help the fight against an almost forgotten disease, and he’s doing it with his hands. Ferris contracted Polio at a young age and has dedicated his trip to shedding light on the devastating disease. He’s currently stopped in Portage la Prairie, and hopes people understand and support his message. He explains we continue to research for cures for other diseases without exercising our ability to eradicate another. He poses the question of whether new cures for diseases like Cancer and AIDS will be limited to richer countries, much like Polio is today.

Ferris is part of a number of activities in the community including an RCMP escorted ride, and visit to Yellowquill school. He encourages people to visit his website, www.cycletowalk.com, where they can learn more about the Cycle to Walk campaign and the fight against Polio.“
