	Dear Pat Hello Yes, this is very sad news. Mr Lewis supported fundraising for research into muscular dystrophy. He hosted telethons to benefit the organization from 1952 to 1959. Then in 1966 until 2010, he hosted the annual live Jerry Lewis MDA each year. Over nearly half a century, he raised over $2.6 billion in donations for the cause. A remarkable legacy. Take gentle care, Pat Love Elizabeth, EOS xx On August 3, 2011, it was announced that Lewis would no longer host the MDA telethons[38] and is no longer associated with the Muscular Dystrophy Association.[39] On May 1, 2015, it was announced that in view of "the new realities of television viewing and philanthropic giving", the telethon was being discontinued.[40] In early 2016, Lewis broke a five-year silence by making an online video statement for the organization on its website in honor of its rebranding, marking his first (and as it turned out, his final) appearance in support of MDA since his last telethon in 2010 and the end of his tenure as national chairman in 2011.
