Jerry Lewis telethon benefits local residents

MORE THAN 75 residents of the North Shore, Richmond
and Vancouver ar¢ among British Columbians who’ll
benefit directly from the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dvysirophy
Telethon in B.C. this Labor Day weekend.

The telethon — broadcast on
UTV from 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. !
unti! 4 p.m. Monday, Sept. 2 is a
major fund raising vehicle for the
B.c. & Yukon Region of the
Muscular Dystrophy Association
of Canada (MDAC).

The association was formed 37
years ago as a national voluntary
agency committed to eliminating
neuromuscular disorders and
alleviating the associated distress.

The association offers hope
through research, creates
awareness and understanding
through education, and provides

services through client-care pro-
grams which — in British Colum-
bia — serve some 650 people, in-
cluding those on the North Shore
who are served by MDAC’s
Greater Vancouver unit.

Muscular dystrophy is a
neuromuscular disorder whose
most common symptom is wasting
and progressive weakness of the
muscles that control body move-
ment.

Funds raised by MDAC through
the telethon and other activities,
many of them supported by fire
fighters in British Columbia, go
towards research directed at fin-

Pnone services
for people with
special needs.

We have products and
services that can make using
the telephone more
convenient for people with
hearing, speech, sight or
motion impairments.
