Francis Marie, representative of Téléthon Hérault Est, expressed his delight at the enthusiasm generated in Castelnau-le-Lez. He highlighted that the Town Hall, through the Mayor and the municipal agents responsible for coordination, has already held several meetings. These gatherings brought together not only local associations but also, as a new initiative this year, local merchants, with the aim of mobilizing them for this major charitable cause.
Francis Marie described the Town of Castelnau-le-Lez as a 'locomotive' for mobilizing the largest possible number of people. He praised the commitment of the Mayor and his teams, expressing the hope that the sums collected, which had declined in recent years, would increase, thereby making Castelnau a Telethon ambassador town.
Mayor Julien Miro recalled that the Telethon is a cause close to his heart for many years. He set an ambitious goal for this first year: 'to double the amount collected,' while also stating the intention to 'make the counter explode.' He assured that the Town, its elected officials, and its agents would be maximally involved to ensure the success of the 40th anniversary of the Telethon in the Castelnau region. Numerous events are planned to raise awareness among residents and encourage them to donate.
