2025 DIY Big Freeze

I’m fundraising for FightMND

I am taking part in this year's Big Freeze  Geelong , to fundraise to help FightMND beat the Beast that is motor neurone disease (MND).

I will be sliding into the icy waters on Sunday June 1st at the St Marys Football Ground (game vs St Jospeh's)

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 so much

Phoebe
