John lost his battle with MND
Monday 23rd Mar
Last week John lost his battle with MND.He faced this disease with humour, determination and incredible strength.
John said, “I will eventually succumb to it, but I’m not going to make it easy for it”
He was deeply passionate about finding a cure to give hope to those living with MND and their families and to help end this cruel disease.
Please donate if you haven’t already and help John reach his target.
Let’s beat the MND beast!
Mat Horan – I miss you, my brother
We're fundraising for FightMND
We are taking part in this year's DIY Big Freeze to fundraise to help FightMND beat the Beast that is motor neurone disease (MND).
The Big Freeze Geelong is being held for the 5th time...our host club is Newtwon Chilwell FNC. The Big Freeze Geelong takes place at midday on May 31st, at Elderslie Reserve, with the blockbuser GFNL match Newtown Chilwell vs Sth Barwon.
This year our slide is dedicated to John Lee and his family. John lost his 11 month battle with MND in March, - which he dedicated to raising funds and awareness of the beast in the hope that others will not have to suffer in the same way. John's great mate Mat Horan, sliding for John, has been announced as our first slider..
Please view our socials for all the latest updates and slider announcements - please help us get to the magic $100,000!
Thank you, we really appreciate your support. Together we can defeat the Beast.
