DIY Big Freeze

I’m fundraising for FightMND

Hi there,

I am taking the plunge this DIY Big Freeze 10 to fundraise towards vital funds for Motor Neurone Disease (MND). 

As many of you know 16 years ago my Mum died of MND just 6 months after being diagnosed. The average life expectancy is 27 months. There is still no cure and no effective treatment, for now this diagnosis remains a death sentence. Each day 2 people in Australia die from MND and two more are diagnosed


Fight MND and the big freeze campaign have been raising funds and awareness for the past 10 years but there's so much more research to be done to find a cure and beat this beast

This year I'm playing my part in supporting this worthy cause. I will take a plunge into the Indian Ocean at sunset on the 15th June, Mum's birthday, she so loved her sunsets !

Please support me by donating to fund vital research, effective treatments and ultimately a cure for MND.

Thank you so much for your support!

Best wishes,

Sonya

Thanks for your support, well wishes and kind donations towards MND and "Olivia's Sunset Plunge" We have 5 plungers at this stage, which is absolutely awesome, now just hoping the skies stay clear for our Plunge and that Mum can work her magic and give us a spectacular sunset 🙏 Sonya xx
