Téléthon 1987 (1x1)

Data di messa in onda: Dic 04, 1987

1st French Annual Telethon which was inspired by The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon. Lewis agreed to be the patron of the first show and he made a closing speech which was translated into French. He said: “For the first time in the history of France and this disease, the great people of this country have given the children hope. You must feel wonderful to know you have brought hope to these children. And all of us here love you and we hope we see you next year.” The show raised 181 327 459 francs (27,6 million euro). Ever since this first Telethon, every year, AFM-Téléthon invites French people to sign a pact with scientists: together, they bet on the future.
