Because it works!
Gene therapy saves lives! This incredible progress would not have been possible without the impetus of the Telethon! Marley, Mylane, Tim, Sacha, Victoire, Elena, Rachel… illustrate it. Thanks to you, we have built a revolution in medicine and we can all be proud of it!
Because there are 7,000 rare diseases and even more research programs to fund
Thanks to the Telethon, thanks to you, we have found the means to overcome complex genetic diseases, previously incurable. But 95% of rare diseases remain untreated, so we must continue the fight!
Because the tests are multiplying…
The AFM-Téléthon supports 40 human trials in progress or in preparation for 33 different diseases. Carrying research to this stage offers hope of a treatment for thousands of patients. Your mobilization is essential!
Because the fight against rare diseases benefits everyone
Victories against rare diseases open the way to common diseases such as cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, vision diseases, heart diseases, etc. We are all in this together!
Because to the injustice of illness must not be added social injustice
While waiting for treatments, your donation allows patients to live better on a daily basis. More than 180 AFM-Téléthon professionals support thousands of patients and their families throughout France.
