El legendario cantante, compositor y superviviente de la polio Donovan Leitch, m\u00e1s conocido como Donovan, ha decidido unir su voz a Rotary para erradicar la enfermedad que le afect\u00f3 durante su ni\u00f1ez.<\/p>\n

Donovan contrajo la polio en Glasgow (Escocia) cuando solo contaba tres a\u00f1os de edad. La enfermedad debilit\u00f3 su pierna derecha la cual qued\u00f3 para siempre m\u00e1s corta y delgada que la izquierda. Dado que hubo de permanecer en cama durante gran parte de su ni\u00f1ez, su padre comenz\u00f3 a leerle poes\u00eda.<\/p>\n

En una reciente entrevista con el\u00a0Daily<\/em> Express<\/em><\/a>, Donovan explic\u00f3 que estas lecturas despertaron su curiosidad por escribir. \u201cSi no hubiera tenido esa experiencia quiz\u00e1 no me hubiera convertido en cantante y compositor.<\/p>\n

\u201cEstoy convencido de que las personas que sufren una discapacidad terminan por explorar otras \u00e1reas de su personalidad. Eso fue exactamente lo que me pas\u00f3 con la polio\u201d, explica Donovan quien recientemente se convirti\u00f3 en embajador contra la polio de Rotary.<\/p>\n

Donovan tuvo una exitosa carrera en el Reino Unido, Estados Unidos y otros pa\u00edses. Sus canciones m\u00e1s conocidas son \u201cMellow Yellow\u201d y \u201cHurdy Gurdy Man.\u201d A lo largo de su trayectoria, colabor\u00f3 con los Beatles en canciones como \u201cYellow Submarine\u201d y comparti\u00f3 escenario con figuras como Bob Dylan y Joan Baez.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa polio nunca me fren\u00f3 como adulto. Aunque tener una pierna m\u00e1s corta que la otra no es agradable, siempre pude manejarme sin problemas\u201d, comenta. \u201cPor suerte, en el mundo de la m\u00fasica la voz es m\u00e1s importante que el tama\u00f1o de las piernas\u201d.<\/p>\n

Como embajador de Rotary contra la polio, Donovan promover\u00e1 la campa\u00f1a\u00a0Purple4Polio<\/a>\u00a0(morado por la polio), proyecto conjunto de Rotary International en Gran Breta\u00f1a e Irlanda y la Royal Horticultural Society. El color morado hace referencia al color de la tinta que los vacunadores utilizan para marcar los dedos de los ni\u00f1os que ya fueron vacunados contra la polio.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe result\u00f3 muy f\u00e1cil unirme a esta campa\u00f1a porque sufr\u00ed personalmente la polio y quiero informar a todo el mundo de que estamos a punto de erradicarla\u201d, concluye. \u201cEs una causa extremadamente importante y quisiera hacer lo posible para acabar con la polio de una vez por todas\u201d.<\/p>\n
