31:29Bruce ThorleyGUEST
And I believe in the US, it was called the March of Dimes to try and just collect ten cent pieces or dimes to try and find a solution from that.

31:39Bruce ThorleyGUEST
And I believe there was also a an institute called the in Institute for Infantile Paralysis, which was one of the names given for polio at one point.
