McKinnon Cougars Join the Hunt for FightMND
McKinnon Basketball Association and the McKinnon Cougars are taking part in this year's DIY Big Freeze to fundraise to help FightMND beat the Beast that is motor neurone disease (MND) across two BIG days at Glen Eira Sports and Aquatic Centre (GESAC) this year during the BIGV26 season.
SATURDAY 13TH JUNE
Youth League Men vs Melbourne University @ 5:30PM
Championship Men vs Melbourne University @ 7:30PM
SUNDAY 14TH JUNE
Youth League Women vs Waverley Falcons @ 12PM
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.
Founder, Neale Daniher, lost his battle with MND on 25th May, 2026.
Vale Neale Daniher, 1961-2026.
Thank you, we really appreciate your support. Together we can defeat the Beast.
