My pledge time is: 9am-11am on Saturday 25th June

As some of you may know, in November last year, we lost a great man to this terrible disease, my Uncle Andy. It was soul destroying to see how such an illness cripples an amazing man full of so much kindness, compassion and love to give, into a complete shell of a being. Words cannot begin to describe how helpful MND Victoria/NSW were to Andy.

Yes research to finding a cure is important to hopefully prevent others in the future from enduring as much hurt and suffering as we all have. However, I think it is equally as important to support those currently with MND to ensure they have the best support and quality of life possible to be able to live comfortably for the duration of their illness.

Therefore, I’m taking part in The Great MND Relay in support of the 470 Victorians currently living with MND. All funds raised will ensure MND Victoria can continue providing vital care, support, education and equipment so no one has to face this devastating disease alone. I will be walking 111 minutes which represents the combined ages of both Andy and his mother Jan when they passed away, both from the horrid MND, with Andy aged 55 and Jan 56. I will endeavour to do as many laps of the 400m track as I can.

Thank you for your support!
