Jerry's Kids

"Jerry's Kids" refers to the children and young adults affected by muscular dystrophy, a group of genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. The term originated from comedian Jerry Lewis, who famously raised awareness and funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) through annual telethons. These telethons showcased stories of those impacted by the disease, highlighting their struggles and inspiring support. The phrase embodies the hope and determination of those living with muscular dystrophy and the ongoing efforts to find treatments and improve their quality of life.
