The 2013 MDA Show of Strength Telethon is scheduled for this Sunday, September 1.  The MDA has been using telethons to raise money for muscle diseases since the 1950's!  The first Labor Day weekend Telethon was broadcast in 1966.  The fundraiser has raised nearly $2 billion in the last 46 years in order to advance research seeking treatments and cures for muscular dystrophy.

The show starts at 9pm EST.  For more information check out the MDA website.
