92,905,533 was the final amount raised by the Telethon held on 8 and 9 December 2023. This exceptional result bears witness to the unfailing mobilisation of millions of donors, volunteers and partners throughout France and abroad.
It is also the result of the commitment of our ambassador, Vianney, as well as the artists, presenters and teams from France Télévisions who took part in this marathon of solidarity, the only one of its kind in the world, giving researchers the resources they need to continue their work and build a new medicine for the benefit of all. The first victories against rare diseases encourage us to redouble our efforts on behalf of all those who are impatiently waiting for the treatment that will change their lives.
“Each Telethon is a unique and powerful moment, because it is the driving force behind excellent research driven by patients and parents of patients, which today saves lives. It’s also a rallying point for the public and a show of solidarity that spans the whole of France over the course of a weekend. Together, we are building a new medicine for the benefit of as many people as possible, and we can all be proud of the initial victories. Our fight must go on, because there is no plan B for rare diseases. Thank you so much! Thank you so much to all the donors, volunteers, partners, artists, presenters and teams from France Télévisions, and to our godfather, Vianney, who have made this Telethon 2023 a success”. Laurence Tiennot-Herment, President of AFM-Téléthon.
The 2024 Telethon is already underway
The first major victories have been achieved. This is a huge source of hope for the many patients who are still waiting for treatment. For them, we are continuing the fight.
See you on 29 and 30 November for the Telethon 2024!
