On national Blue Cornflower Day (24 June 2022) during MND Awareness Week, I will be taking on the challenge to climb the Brisbane Story Bridge to increase awareness of the impact of Motor Neurone Disease.
In 2016, my dad gained his angel wings after having to have gone through this horrible disease
MND is a neurodegenerative terminal disease that affects a person's ability to move, speak, swallow and eventually, breathe. Not being able to remember my dads voice or his warm hugs still hurt me, but hopefully with further research there will be no more family’s having to have gone through the same that mine did.
On my climb I will be raising awareness of the impacts this disease has, while trying to raise funds for research and for the care of those suffering.
If you could please spare any change, that would mean the world to the Downey family.
