Hi there!
My Labor Day weekend telethon is a labor of love, love
for the many thousands of kids – like Scotty Swift here,
MDAA's national poster child cruelly and progressively
crippled by dystrophy. When I tell you that dystrophy has
already claimed the life of one of Scotty's brothers, and that
another is in a wheelchair, I guess I don't have to say any
more.
My marathon TV spectacular will raise funds for the all-out
fight against this tragic disease and related neuromuscular
disorders which afflict millions. It's going to be a powerhouse
of entertainment sparkling with the brightest stars of show
business. So be sure to tune in!
And – please – help us go over the top! If you'll make
your contribution in advance, right now, I'll try to announce
it on the air.
MAKE YOUR CHECK PAYABLE TO MDAA, AND SEND IT TO
ME AT THE ADDRESS BELOW.
God bless you!
