The Garfield Hotel Community Big Freeze

2025 DIY Big Freeze

We're fundraising for FightMND

We are taking part in this year's DIY Big Freeze to fundraise to help FightMND beat the Beast that is motor neurone disease (MND).

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.

Thank you, we really appreciate your support. Together we can defeat the Beast.

Thank you to our Sponsors
