Jerry Lewis has personified the fight against neuromuscular diseases since 1951. As National Chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), he is a leader who battles with fierce determination on behalf of the more than a million Americans affected by these disorders.

And to his millions of fans, he is not only an admired actor, comedian, director, producer and teacher, but a humanitarian striving to provide "his kids" a better future.

Jerry's determined effort to raise funds for MDA's worldwide research program are turning that hope of a better future into reality.
