Daniher’s Drive Information

What is Daniher’s Drive?  

add remove

Daniher’s Drive is our famous annual road trip. It’s aim is to raise awareness and vital funds to fight motor neurone disease (MND).  

From the start, Australia’s regional and rural communities have been strong supporters of our community. The Drive is our opportunity to take FightMND on the road and thank these communities for all they do.  

A special event on the FightMND calendar, the Drive is all about people and connection.  

Many who attend the Drive have been affected by MND. Each one holds a strong connection to what FightMND stands for. Daniher’s Drive provides an opportunity to meet and get to know others impacted by the Beast.
