Willyama High School

DIY Big Freeze

Join Us in the Fight Against Motor Neurone Disease!

Hello, everyone!

We are thrilled to announce that Willyama High School is diving into action for this year's DIY Big Freeze 10, a heartfelt effort to raise crucial funds for Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Did you know that the average life expectancy for someone diagnosed with MND is just 27 months?

On Friday, June 7th, we'll be hosting our very own 'Willyama Big Freeze'. We invite you to join us in supporting this important cause by donating to fund vital research, develop effective treatments, and ultimately find a cure for MND.

Your generosity makes a world of difference. Stay tuned as we unveil which brave staff members will be taking the plunge for this noble cause!

Thank you for standing with us in the fight to freeze MND.

Warm regards,

Willyama High School

And what better day to announce it than on her birthday! Itching to be the one to dunk Ms Devoy? Donate via the link: https://support.fightmnd.org.au/fundraisers/willyamahs/diy-bigfreeze
