Mond 1st December 2025
The first day of Advent, so time to open up the calendar door or let your candle burn down one notch.
Throughout November and going into December, maybe beyond, there’s plenty of fund raising activities for the national annual Telethon.
For those of you new to this area, or indeed France, I’ll give you a little background: In 1958 a handful of French parents were fed up with the lack of investment or treatment for their various children affected neuromuscular diseases. They decided to set up a charitable organisation called AFM to raise funds for research into children’s different diseases.
There’s going to be a variety of events taking off later this week Keep a look out and I’ll be giving you more info later in the week.
