Minda Dentler held her three-month old baby as the little girl received her first polio vaccine. An ordinary occurrence for most, but not this mom: Minda was seated in a wheelchair, having contracted polio as a baby born to an impoverished single mother in India. If an American couple hadn't adopted her, she believes she never would have survived past childhood.
Now Minda has a family, a career and she has completed an Ironman competition (covering over 140 miles using just her arms). And she is also a Champion -- she is part of a program called Shot@Life, created by the UN Foundation. You're invited to be one, too.
Read more on Minda's journey, and what we learned about how we all can help the world immunization movement.
