Another eventful weekend awaits those who will be participating in the Telethon appeal for donations to medical research. Many schools, employees and private citizens will be taking part in events designed to gain sponsorship or cash donations to the Telethon. Over 70 million euros was raised last year and the TV chains will be dedicating many hours of broadcast entertainment to help viewers pledge their support.
Amongst the local activities the sapeurs pompiers at Laguepie will be offering to wash your car (and providing coffee and cake while you wait) for your generous donation. Taglines will be taking our car for its annual wash. If you give 10 euros it may be bit more expensive than the car wash - but personal service and good humour for a worthy cause make it worthwhile.
Some activities are threatened with disruption by the gilets jaunes, but the genuine protestors amongst them will surely support this action of solidarity with sufferers of the diseases the Telethon will be helping.
