For its 36th edition, the telethon has returned to the field in full, hosting over 13,000 events across the country. This traditional marathon, which started on Friday evening, ended on the night from Saturday to Sunday with the amount of contributions in the amount of 78,051,091 euros. Almost five million euros more than promised, collected during the same time last year. This year the counter is open until December 9th, donations can be sent by phone (36 37) or via the Internet (telethon.fr). Lawrence Tienno-Ehrman, President of AFM-Téléthon, hailed the success of the event. “The first victories paved the way, but it must continue for all who wait, and this exceptional count given the difficult situation allows us to do so,” she said. After initial successes in the fight against immunodeficiency, the work funded by the telethon is now targeting more complex pathologies such as neuromuscular diseases.
