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 2km walk or roll along the beautiful Gold Coast Broadwater. 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.
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.
Our 2026 Gold Coast walk champions are the Hryczyszyn family and Team Ritzy, walking in honour of much loved, Mark Hryczyszyn. You can read his story by clicking the link below:

Every dollar you raise helps provide essential support for Queenslanders living with MND. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a chance to make a real difference. While we can’t change the outcome of an MND diagnosis, we can walk together to ensure no Queenslander faces it alone.
