Every year, Jean-Luc Reichmann and the candidates of “Douze coups de midi” mobilize for ELA, the European association against leukodystrophies, sponsored in France by Zinedine Zidane.
For once, the TF 1 game is dedicating an entire week to this cause, as part of the Mets tes Baskets awareness campaign, aimed at schools and businesses. From Monday October 14 to Sunday October 20, around twenty players will take turns to try to beat the Maître de Midi, Emilien, unbeatable for more than a year and holder of 1.6 million euros in winnings. For each correct answer, during the Coup de Maître, €5,000 will be added to the association’s prize pool.
On Sunday, a final check will be presented to ELA representatives, President Crystelle Cottart and Director Nadia Cerise. The amount will be used for research into rare genetic diseases and to help patients. Jean-Luc Reichmann will also receive on his set two loyal supporters of the association, Béatrice Hess, Paralympic swimmer with the most medals in France, and Pascal Gentil, Olympic taekwondo champion.
Watch “Les deux coups de midi” this Monday, October 14 at 11:50 a.m. on TF 1.
