The 42nd Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon proved to be a tremendous success in raising funds for the battle against ALS and other neuromuscular diseases.

MDA’s ALS Division co-chairs Augie and Lynne Nieto, and their son Austin, were interviewed live on the broadcast, and were on hand to witness the final “tote” of $63.8 million in contributions and pledges.

Nearly $3 million more was raised than at last year’s Telethon – a powerful boost for MDA’s programs of research, services and information.
