<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nArun Patel BCAh<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/span>Born in Uganda in 1953, Arun contracted polio soon after his first birthday leaving his left leg paralyzed. He realized early on that a solid education would open up opportunities for him in careers that did not rely on physical abilities. After completing schooling in Uganda, he moved to England where he was among the top ten candidates to qualify as a Chartered Accountant in his year. He worked for KPMG International Cooperative, one of the Big Four accounting organizations and later went on to build his own accounting firm from the ground up.<\/p>\nAfter selling his firm, Arun and his 2 brothers founded Polio Children, registered charities in the UK and the USA, with the primary mission of providing opportunities to children struck with polio and other neuromuscular disorders so that they too could have a chance to live independent lives with dignity and pride.<\/p>\n
Arun is married and has two sons and 2 grand-daughters![\"\"](\"\/\/poliochildren.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Mayoor-Patel-Uk-Trustee-150x150.jpg\" "\\"Mayoor")
<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nMayoor Patel BCAo<\/span><\/h3>\nMayoor is Arun\u2019s youngest brother. He too grew up in Uganda but had to leave the country during the Asian exodus of 1972. He completed his schooling at the Marlborough College and higher education at the University of Surrey. He has worked for over 30 years in business and finance setting up and advising both large and small companies.<\/p>\n
From a very young age, Mayoor was impressed how his older brother was better than him at badminton, tennis, and cricket despite his physical limitations. Convinced that polio only makes one differently able rather than disabled, Mayoor has made it his personal mission to spread the message. He works closely with several NGOs in the UK and in India that are devoted to the welfare of underprivileged and handicapped children.<\/p>\n
Mayoor and Subhdra have one daughter.<\/p>\n

She has been with Polio Children from its inception and works on the administration and fund raising for the charity. She regularly visits Polio Children sites around the world.<\/p>\n

Tajinder came to the UK to pursue higher education. He has a long and distinguished career in information technology and telecommunications. He was surprised one day to learn about the work his neighbours, Arun and Mayoor, were doing in India and elsewhere to help polio and other disadvantaged children. He was immediately moved by their efforts and volunteered to work with their charity. He attributes his own success to having been given the opportunity to be educated and hopes that his charitable efforts will give others the same possibilities.<\/p>\n
