I am fundraising for FightMND!
My father, Dr Daniel Lane, was diagnosed with MND in March 2020 and bravely fought it until his passing in February 2023. His fight was marked with resilience and courage and, even with the time that has passed, the painful memory of his suffering hasn’t eased. This is why I decided to host the True Blue Gala, with the aim of raising awareness and support for the research into a cure so that no other person or family has to endure this disease.
Our first True Blue Gala was held in February 2025 - a black-tie dinner at The Royal Randwick, offering guests a chance to enjoy a gourmet meal while supporting the cause in honour of my father. That night, we raised an incredible $115,000 for MND research and care.
Now we’re back for more. We’re pleased to be hosting the next True Blue Gala on 13 February 2027 at the Hirer’s Dining Room at Allianz Stadium. Guests can expect a memorable night filled with entertainment, heartfelt speeches, and opportunities to make a meaningful impact. All profits from the gala, including the silent auction, will be donated directly to FightMND, which is celebrating over 10 years of advocating for increased funding and awareness, having invested close to $100 million in research and care initiatives over the last decade.
