My aunt Judy died from one of the many diseases involved with MD, I honestly don't remember which one because I was just a kid and didn't fully understand it.
She had lived with us for a short time and was a really cool lady.
It was a hard life for her, but she remained pretty active in MDA raising money etc.
I've always been a big fan of Jerry Lewis and this guy has been raising money to help fund research for cures since like the 40's.
The guy's a work horse.
I know he's taken a lot of shit over the last few years even from those afflicted by the disease, but man if it wasn't for him there might not be this much awareness.
The Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon is almost as American as Apple Pie anymore.
