Walk (or roll) to raise awareness for Motor Neurone Disease!
Rally your family, friends, colleagues—and even your dog—and join us for a scenic 1.5km or 4km walk or roll along the beautiful Urunga Esplanade. Walk to Defeat MND is an inclusive, fun-filled event that raises essential funds for those living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), while fostering a sense of community for everyone affected.
Our 2025 Sunshine Coast Walk Champion, John Toole, will have the honour of leading the walk. He has shared his personal MND experience in this heartfelt and inspirational story.

Why are we fundraising?
MND Queensland provides life-changing equipment, care, and services for those living with MND—many of whom are not eligible for NDIS support. Donations from events like this are crucial to ensuring these vital services continue.
How does it work?
Registering for Walk to Defeat MND is easy. Simply sign up online, create your personalised fundraising page, and share the link with your friends, family, or workplace. Donations go directly through your page—no need to handle cash.
If you’re fundraising with others, sign up as a team to reach a bigger goal together. Whether as an individual or a team, there are great prizes up for grabs, plus plenty of resources and support to help you succeed.
