It’s been almost 12 months since my diagnosis (Feb2023) and I’m amazed at how quickly this disease has progressed. I have almost lost the use of my voice, swallowing food or drink is difficult and at most meals I have to cough to remove particles that are stuck in my throat. dropped 14 kgs in body weight, have lost muscle mass and can only walk just over a klm without having to take a break to regain strength to walk again. For this walk, I hope all my friends and their friends will recognise the vital role MND Qld provide to the people like me with care, guidance, support and services. Towards specialists who are familiar with MND, to support those around me living with MND and to provide the equipment I will need just around the corner. They care. Ive been blessed with knowing I chose my parents wisely who also gave me the DNA, thewill and determination to overcome all adversity including this beast of a disease. Im taking on the Walk2 D Feet MND and challenging myself to walk all 4 Kilometers. I hope that you will join me. In spirit, or by getting a team together from your close community or share this page and the awareness of this hideous disease that there is no cure for. I am making a difference for Queenslanders living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) by participating in the Walk to Defeat MND 2024. MND takes a person’s ability to move, speak, swallow and eventually breathe.

All donations, big and small, are important. So I ask you to reach out to friends, in your community golf, ,pickle ball community, tennis community and workplace and encourage them to take part too. let's work together to reach my goal of $4000
