Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon

In 2005, my husband was forced to retire from a job at Georgia Pacific. This was a job that he had been working at for thirty-three years. The muscles in his arms were tearing for no reason that we knew of and he was having some other health problems. It was very upsetting to both of us not knowing the outcome about his health and now no income as well. We had seen many doctors on many different occasions. We kept hitting a dead end. Finally, we were able to see a new doctor, a neurologist, and after

On his 40th Labor Day telethon in 2005, Jerry Lewis added Salvation Army fundraising for Hurricane Katrina to his usual Muscular Dystrophy Assosiation fundraising, though he also encouraged viewers to give to the American Red Cross. Not all of what Jerry Lewis has done has been good, but no hero is perfect. Aside from controversy from the community of disabled people with comments he has made, Jerry Lewis can still be considered a hero for the great charitable work

A warm smile and kind eyes is what attributes to a man, known as my father. He works hard and is diligent, but what defines him is the kindness that is always visible within him.

Life of Jerry Lewis "I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not differ nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again"(TOJLCMS, 5). For Jerry Lewis, this was a common outlook he had. Jerry has devoted his life to entertaining others and putting a smile on their faces. Although he did suffer numerous struggles, Jerry Lewis has still successfully made it to the top (Lewis, 3).

Being one of the elder statesmen of this class I have been blessed to be able to have different forms of religious music effect my life. My Mother’s family was from the hills of Tennessee; to they taught me to appreciate the old standards. Personally I fell in love with four part harmony. I couldn’t quite explain what my fascination with that form of music, but I loved the harmonious sounds. When the tenor would hit into falsesetto and hit the high “e” it was unbelievable. The four songs that affected

still out of consideration from being cured. The campaigns and fundraising also only included the children who could be excused and be protected by adults, and the older people with disabilities were never included in the programs. MDA telethon, started by Jerry Lewis, showed the children with Muscular Dystrophy and plead for help from the people in America. It is an annual concert held for fundraising the money for the people with Muscular Dystrophy. Children are one of the best icons for fundraising

Skeletal muscles play a huge role in the way our bodies function because without muscles, our bones would not properly be held together. Most of the body’s muscle tissue is skeletal muscle. It interacts with the skeleton to move body parts. It’s long, thin cells are called fibers and they have more than one nucleus. Their structure gives them a striped look. The muscles are considered voluntary, which means that the contractions can be controlled. A skeletal muscle contains bundles of muscle

"It 's always been my belief that media images of disability cause the disability community some of its most serious and persistent problems..." ~Prof Beth Haller, of media dis&dat Images of disabled people being depicted in a negative light go back at least as far as the Old Testament, where having a disability meant that you had done something to anger G-d. Disability was equated with sin (Shapiro). In the New Testament you got another choice-you could be "cursed or possessed by evil" (Shapiro
