I'm sorry to hear that you were / are one of " Jerry's Kids " but also happy that you are one of his "
older Kids. " and that you were able to overcome these issues. Younger kids should be out playing ball and doing the things kids do, not dealing with an illness like Muscular Dystrophy or any other disease. Hopefully, you are doing well and we are glad you are here with us.
Jerry had some critics who thought the Telethon exploited the terrible images of children suffering from MD. Jerry simply said, " I want people who donate funds to see who is being helped and where their money is going."
