Miegħek JIen - ALSMalta+ Telethon
on the 31st August

This year, ALS Malta launches its campaign under the powerful theme “Miegħek Jien” – a simple promise that means everything. Inspired by the real story of Bjorn Formosa and his unwavering support network, “Miegħek Jien” represents solidarity, love, and the courage to stand by each other in the darkest moments.
💙 It’s more than just a slogan – it’s a movement of hope for every patient living with a neurological condition.
The theme also marks a major milestone: the final push to complete Dar Bjorn Respite, Malta’s first-ever short-stay neurological care home.
🗓️ Join us for the national telethon on Sunday, 31st August 2025 📍 Live across major stations – in aid of ALS, MND, and neurological patients across Malta.
Together, with your donation, we can finish this dream.
Miegħek Jien – għax intom dejjem kontu miegħi.
