I’m fundraising for FightMND
I am taking part in this year's DIY Big Freeze to fundraise 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. Please help me by donating through my page.
It only takes a minute and any money you can give will go to improving care for people living with MND, fund research into more effective treatments, and eventually, find a cure.
Thank you, I really appreciate your support. Together we can defeat the Beast.

Thanks for participating. I have lost two friends to MND and my son's school lost a recent graduate, so even young people affected. The big freeze has helped fund breakthroughs with MND, so glad to contribute to Melbourne helping to rid the world of this terrible disease.
