Help play a vital role in beating the Beast that is MND
FightMND was established to find effective treatments and ultimately a cure for Motor Neurone Disease (MND), but we can’t do it without your support.
Thanks to our community, we have been able to make incredible strides towards beating the Beast that is MND, but the fight is far from over.
There are plenty of ways to get involved and fundraise in your community by joining an event or hosting your own. Choose from the options below or fundraise your way.
You’ve seen it at the MCG on TV, and now you can host your own whether it be at your sports club, school, workplace or at home.

Our amazing FightMND supporters
In any family, a diagnosis of MND is completely earth-shattering. But in our family, MND follows us like a shadow. It's our mission to make this the last generation of our family that will have to face MND without a cure. Bumblebee drives from town-to-town, checking in to as many events as possible, raising awareness and asking people to donate. FightMND provides hope. MND is relentless and so too must our fundraising efforts be.

Our journey, inspired by our courageous mum Lorraine's 18-month struggle with MND, led us to channel our grief into fundraising to help in any way we could, as we found it difficult to just sit and watch mum decline over time. In just two years, we've raised over $60,000 - a testament to the unwavering support of our community and the organisation's dedication and help.

The worst bit is that only the best people seem to get MND, and this was my motivation to run 100km and raise $21,897 for FightMND in support of one of the best people.

Get Active
Malvern Primary really enjoyed fundraising for FightMND. It encouraged students to get outside on a Wednesday and Friday morning, to run or walk for a purpose and to raise money for a wonderful cause. With the help of our awesome parents, we also sold Beanies and Socks every day, which helped us raise $37,638 to help make a difference.

She loved her family, she was committed to helping others and if it weren’t for MND she would have continued to make an impact on countless lives.

In Memory
Hey, I'm Archie. I'm 14 and I've organised five FightMND fundraisers over the last four years, raising over $20,000. For my most recent 27 Challenge, I completed a 27km run. I love running, and I love helping people so it's a good combo for me. We all need to do more to help beat this Beast of a disease. 27 months being the average life expectancy from being diagnosed is not OK, and it has to change. I just want other kids to know, don't let your age stop you from doing something to help others. If you're passionate about something, go all in.
