A Big Freeeeaking Run

We're participating in this year's DIY Big Freeze

I'm fundraising for Fight MND

G'day!

I am taking part in this year's "DIY Big Freeze" by doing a Big Freeeaking Run to fundraise to beat the Beast that is motor neurone disease (MND). I will be running a marathon on 7th June 2026 in the Tallangatta Pub to Pelican running festival!

I have been working as an occupational therapist in our local MND clinic for 3 years now. Over that time, we have supported and cared for almost 100 people living with MND. Of these people, almost half have lost their lives to this disease. 

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. Please help us by donating through our page.

It only takes a minute, and any money you can give will go to improving care for people living with MND, funding research into more effective treatments, and eventually, finding a cure.

Thank you, we really appreciate your support. Together we can defeat the Beast.

Yours truly,

Gem
