    In this video Jerry Lewis sings his signature tune "You'll Never Walk Alone" for Chris at the MDA Labor Day Telethon.
    At the age of seven months, Christopher Rush was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, and his parents were told he would be “no more than a dishrag, and dead by the age of two.” Christopher lived to 30, and in that time he achieved more than most able-bodied people do in a lifetime including becoming the first quadriplegic in the United States licensed as a scuba diver. He was the manager of his high school basketball team; he went to prom; he graduated from the University of Michigan with honors; and he graduated with a Juris Doctor from Wayne State University.
    Shortly before his death, Chris developed a motivational program called GO FAR, a series of steps that could help guide people who wanted to achieve their goals despite the insurmountable obstacles in front of them. His mission was to share this program with those with disabilities, and by his definition, “Everyone has a disability.”
    This film is Chris’ life story and a continuation of his work; it will inspire not only those with disabilities, but everyone, to follow their dreams, no matter the obstacles.
    The film is narrated by actor Mark Hamill as the voice of Christopher Rush. Also featuring Jerry Lewis, Tony Orlando, and additional celebrities associated with the Muscular Dystrophy Association telethons.

    Hope he got his just reward when leaving this world, for all he did for these kids, I met him once for MDA & another time in 1993 for a lifetime achievement award in film with the Ft Lauderdale Film Festival, I was a sponsor with AT&T, I believe he was a sincere guy, he truly wanted to help. He made a difference that is why we supported his MDA Cause. RIP Jerry Lewis you are missed by these kids & families

      And the very man who did these telethons, along with his sidekick Dean Martin sang and wrote my childhood song my mother and my oldest sister would sing to me when rocking me in her arms. That song was Who’s Your Little Who’s Is. and this nation could use this very humanitarian, Jerry Lewis to handle the COVID-19 pandemic. He’d do a better job of it than some of our leaders are doing. Jerry, please come back from heaven to help this nation out!!!

      He was extremely funny and lots of good work with the MDA. But he was an absolute disaster as a human being. Cruel to his wife and children. As well as most who he worked with. Always sarcastic to everyone. Yes, he was a brilliant comedian and writer. But, you need to be a good person as well.

    Too bad the telethon he, basically, created fired him because he was so right about the so-called "reality" shows inundating us even more than in 2011. Johnny "The Asshole" Carson said he retired at the right time due to the same shit becoming a virus and spreading.
