Pollies take the plunge for MND
Victorian MPs from across the political spectrum have put their hand up to take part in this year's FREEZE Parliament fundraiser on June 15, to help FightMND beat the Beast that is motor neurone disease (MND).
MND is a progressive disease that gradually takes away a person’s use of their arms and legs, their ability to eat and swallow, their speech and ultimately, their ability to breathe.… all in an average timeframe of just 27 months.
This terrible disease hits close to home for those taking the plunge with their colleague and friend, Labor MP Emma Vulin, being diagnosed with the disease in 2024.
Our brave MPs, are set to be dunked in a tank of icy water in the depths of winter at Victoria's Parliament House.
By donating to one or more of their pages, you'll not only improve care for people living with MND and fund vital research into the deadly disease, but you will also help us decipher who has the best fundraising clout.
A big thank you to our sponsors - Reed Fleming at Good to Go, the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Endeavour Group and the Australian Hotels Association - for their generous donations. We could not run this event without them!
It only takes a minute to donate. We really appreciate your support.
Together we can defeat the Beast.
Thank you to our Sponsors
