2025 Daniher's Drive

I'm fundraising for Daniher's Drive!

Hi there

I'm taking part in the Daniher’s Drive, trying to fundraise to help FightMND in its mission to find effective treatments and one day a cure for MND. To accomplish this, I am part of a team and we would truly appreciate it if you could help by fundraising alongside us or donating to our page!

I am excited to be involved in 2025 as we travel through regional Victoria to raise awareness and much needed funds to continue the fight against MND.

I would appreciate your support in the form of a donation if you are able. It only takes a minute and any money you can give will go a long way to helping us reach our target and continue funding valuable MND research.

Thank you, I really appreciate your support!

Meet Dom.. the bearer of the worst news 😞

Thursday 17th Apr
In October 2020 we met Dom, a neurologist who specialises in MND research. As he drew a diagram and explained how MND works.. Crack was so calm and accepting, finishing the visit by asking Dom all about his family and farm, even wanting a photo. If you knew my boy that was his way πŸ’™Crack had always known what the diagnosis would be, it was me that was in denial. MND happened to other people. It happened to Neale Daniher. It couldn’t possibly touch us. We came home that day and sat out on the back verandah and called the kids then Crack’s siblings. The second worst day of our lives.. then life went on….. The first real hiccup MND threw at Crack was that his hands stopped co-operating, his fine motor was going. That’s really common in MND sufferers. For Crack, it made it impossible for him to get his precious work boots on. Foot in, yes but there was NO WAY he could get his finger in that little loop to pull them up! Off Crack went with his boots in hand to Cleverdons where they invented a metal rod with a big triangle on the top that he could fit his fingers and a hook on the other end so he could hook the loop and woohoo his boots were on! The next little hurdle was zipping up his jackets… again his fingers weren’t able to cooperate to hold the toggle and zip up. I went online and found some key ring loops that we hooked on the toggle. Job done and life continued on for a bit. To be continued πŸ©΅πŸ’™

Way back when.. before all the bad things happened πŸ₯°

Friday 28th Mar
For those of you who mightn’t know Crack and I very well.. I thought I’d tell you a little about us. We were married for 39 years and have 5 children, Cass, Liz, Brent, Kat and Kayne. They’re all married now and we have 8 grandchildren (so farπŸ₯°) and 1 great grandchild. Crack was one of 7 children and our extended family is HUGE!!! And Crack loved every one of the crazy buggers πŸ˜‚πŸ₯°

Hi poppets.Β 
It’s my turn to be brave and get into raising some funds for MND research so one day hopefully we stop losing beautiful people like my darling man Crack. 😒 In October, Wendy McCrone, Jacinta Ives and I are participating in the MND drive and are hoping to raise some money in the months before. I thought maybe over the next little while I could share some of our journey along the very crappy MND road. Β So if you happen to have a spare couple of dollars to sponsor us, it would be greatly appreciated and we will be holding a few fundraisers as well. More information as we get ourselves together. Can I tell you that in the one meeting and following phone call.., I have not laughed so much in the last 2 years and 28 months πŸ₯°

Thank you to my Sponsors

Hi Shaz, I am sorry for the loss of your beautiful husband. I have lost 2 cousins to MND, one being a well respected Cardiologist who was working with the University of Newcastle to help find a cure. Unfortunately the disease found her before she could accomplish her mission. Thank you for all that you are doing and wish you all the best.
