Behind the fun and entertainment of the AFM Telethon is a serious purpose: to raise funds to support AFM's research programs and services for people with neuromuscular diseases and to inform the general public about rare genetic disorders.
Since the first Telethon in 1987, your generous donations have helped research into gene-based therapies which are the best hope for curing thousands of currently incurable diseases, whether they are genetic diseases, like most neuromuscular diseases, or rare or even common diseases.
 
You have contributed to further progress in the understanding, the diagnosis and management of diseases which are often neglected by the public health system. The AFM-Telethon has helped improve the life of neuromuscular disease patients and change the way society looks at disability
For those who fight every day against a devastating disease, each Telethon is a new step on the road to victory over these diseases. Your donation will help accelerate research progress and raise patients' hopes.
