Labor MP Paul Mercurio

2025 DIY Big Freeze

Donate to Paul and help them hit their goal of $2000

I’m fundraising for FightMND

I have done many things in my life, worked with some very famous people, met amazing and interesting people and had a very varied career but I have never been dunked into freezing cold water by Emma Vulin – I consider this one of the highest of highs in a career littered with many highs and I must admit a few lows! 


So when Emma asked me if I would agree to being dunked into extremely cold water in order to raise money for FightMND my initial response was no way! But we all know how wonderful, talented, smart, funny and determined Emma is and within 1.9 seconds of thinking about saying no she had me saying – “Yes I would love to” How does she do that!!??

 

In all sincerity - this is a very worthy cause and I am happy to do my bit to support Emma and FightMND all I ask is everyone reading this to be generous and make a donation – every little bit counts.
