For 28 hours non-stop, <strong>Michel Drucker, Claude S\u00e9rillon, G\u00e9rard Holtz<\/strong> and <strong>Jacques Chancel<\/strong> took turns on the air with sponsor Jerry Lewis.\u00a0The show was a success and the amount raised exceeded<strong> 175 million francs<\/strong> (29.7 million euros), three times the amount hoped for at the time. From this first edition, the associative world, sports federations and companies spontaneously mobilized by organizing cultural and sports events in cities throughout France.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the success of the Telethon has not wavered, testifying to the loyalty of the French people to this event which combines entertainment, information and popular mobilization. Many actors and actresses, singers and sports champions have played the game by becoming sponsors of the program. In 2006, the counter reached its highest level, with <strong>106 696 532 \u20ac<\/strong> with <strong>G\u00e9rard Jugnot<\/strong> and <strong>Thierry Lhermitte<\/strong> as sponsors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Genetic diseases were destroying the lives of our children and our families. To fight them, we had nothing: neither means, nor treatments. There was no question of resigning ourselves and we created the Telethon. We wanted to give life to research that did not exist. We wanted to revolutionize medicine. Year after year, thanks to your faithful support, we have succeeded in doing so,<\/em>&#8221; explains <strong>Laurence Tiennot-Herment<\/strong>, President of the AFM-T\u00e9l\u00e9thon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The strength to heal<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This year, the AFM has mobilized around the theme &#8220;<em><strong>The strength to heal<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;, referring to the strength of families who fight daily against the disease, but also to the strength of researchers, volunteers, doctors, donors and partners of the Telethon. The donations collected during the Telethon will be used for research on<strong> gene therapy<\/strong>. This is an innovative treatment that allows, thanks to a single injection of a &#8220;gene-drug&#8221;, to stop the natural evolution of rare diseases. To accelerate the development of treatments for rare diseases, the AFM-Telethon has also created its own laboratories such as <strong>Genethon<\/strong> (gene therapy), <strong>I-Stem<\/strong> (research on stem cells and cell therapy for monogenic diseases) and the <strong>Institute of Myology<\/strong> (research and medical consultations on muscle and its diseases).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTelethon%2Fposts%2F10158499807341220&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"678\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This year, the Telethon returns after the digital edition of 2020, with the singer <strong>Soprano<\/strong> as its godfather.
