President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca has presented a €10,000 donation to Bjorn and Maria Formosa on behalf of the Malta Community Chest Fund.

The money will go towards the ALS Foundation, run by the couple, and their project for a respite home for those who suffer from the degenerative disease.

Last Friday, Bjorn Formosa managed to raise over €900,000 for the project during an episode of weekly talk show Xarabank.

During the live broadcast, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat phoned-in to announce that the government would be covering the annual running costs of the home.
