of $300 goal

I am making a difference for Queenslanders living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) by participating in the Walk to Defeat MND 2025. MND takes a person’s ability to move, speak, swallow and eventually breathe.

All donations, big and small, are important. So, let's work together to reach my goal.

Your sponsorship is crucial in helping us raise awareness and vital funds. MND Queensland receives no ongoing government funding, and many of its services to the community are funded through the generosity of people like you. You are helping to continue the provision of MND-specific support services such as occupational therapy, speech pathology, equipment, advisory support and more!

All donations $2 and over are tax deductible. Please share my page with your contacts to continue creating awareness.

🙏 thank you

Let’s get this done.
It’s affecting more ppl everyday than we know
Relationships destroyed
Independence gone.
Speech doesn’t exist anymore.
Walking balance destroyed
Eating breathing affected.
And lots more.
We need to fight to get money funds behind this to make more awareness of this horrible disease. More ppl I speak to conversations go oh my family member or friend passed away from MND.
We can and will win over the beast.
Thank you

When I was diagnosed I had no idea what i how it affected you. To be honest I hadn’t even heard of it so I really wasn’t concerned but as time went by things were changing. Ppl thought I was drunk all the time.
Long term relationship was destroyed.
I could go in with all the negatives.
Even doctor said I have min 2 yrs to live.
