On June 20, an exceptional concert by Florent Pagny, honorary member of the association, was held at La Seine Musicale to raise funds for the fight against leukodystrophies.
An exceptional concert
Florent Pagny has been supporting the ELA association for almost 25 years. He knows that most children suffering from leukodystrophy still have no treatment. That’s why he decided to get his friends together for a big evening in aid of ELA, to be broadcast later on TF1.
Our godfather performed duets with : Anggun, Amel Bent, Patrick Bruel, Carla Bruni, Calogero, Lara Fabian, Patrick Fiori, Jennifer, Marc Lavoine, Christophe Maé, Kendji Girac, M’Pokora, Pascal Obispo, Raoul Paź, Anne Silla, Slimane, Soprano, Diego Torres, Vianney and Zazie.
Through these duets, Florent Pagny retraced more than 30 years of career, 20 multi-award-winning albums, and above all an ever-strong commitment to ELA. A wonderful moment of sharing and solidarity for all those present that evening.
A heartfelt commitment to ELA
The singer met the association in 1999, when he received in the mail a photo of Jérémie and a letter from his mother Francine, explaining the terrible disease he was suffering from: leukodystrophy. Touched by this heartfelt appeal, he decided to get involved alongside the ELA families. A first step was taken between the singer and the association with the release of the album “Récréation”, part of the royalties from which were donated to ELA. Years later, the singer remains faithful to the families’ fight.
He opened the concert with a reminder of his commitment to ELA, and the importance of supporting the association to carry out its missions.
And for that, ELA needs the generosity of everyone.
