Daniher's Drive Information Pack

Daniher's Drive started with a simple idea. To hit the road and thank the communities across regional Australia that have supported us from the start. To take the fight against motor neurone disease (MND) to these amazing locations, while raising the funds to power vital MND research and care initiatives. With that, we hit the road in 2015 with the very first Drive. 

At the heart of Daniher’s Drive is people.  

We share a common purpose with our Drive teams. Their fantastic work in raising awareness and vital funds in the battle against the Beast sits at the core of what FightMND is all about. Since 2015, our Drive participants and partners have raised more than $16 million for FightMND.

For 10 years the contribution of our supporters has made a difference in research outcomes and improving the lives of people impacted by MND. 

Our vision is a world without MND. From the start we’ve known how important people are in our battle. After all, our tagline is ‘It takes people’! 

Thanks to you, we can continue to invest in MND cure research and care initiatives that will help achieve our vision and beat the Beast.
