Polio and Children in Need Charity began as Polio Children in 2002 after Arun Patel, a polio survivor since the age of one, came across a newspaper article highlighting the success of a group of Indian school boys with polio at the International Stoke Mandeville Games in England. He visited the boys’ school in India, Sucheta Kriplani Shiksha Niketan, with his two brothers Shirish and Mayoor and upon their return home they formed the charity Polio Children.
