I’m taking on my own challenge this June as part of 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. Thank you for your support! I will be overseas when this amazing Relay is being held and being sad to miss it, I’ve decided that I will walk 41 laps of the Edwardes Lake Athletic Track in Reservoir over 2 or 3 visits as I currently have a sore back. I’m hoping 41 laps will help me raise $470! I’m starting with my own donation of $235 so I’m half way there. If any of my friends or family have a spare $5 or $10 I’d really appreciate your donation and I know MND Vic clients certainly would too! Thank you in anticipation of us reaching that magic total of $470 😊🙏😊

Congrats everyone, WE have donated $1790.
Truly amazing effort and it shows how quickly the total increases with every donation. 💞💙💞💙💞

Well the 41 laps are now completed with big thanks to Pauline, Mel, Jac, Milan, Luke, Sarah, Ethan and Jack for coming to join me on the awesome Edwardes Park Aths Track. WE have so far raised $1450 …. You are all totally amazing and I know personally that this money will be used to support MND VIC clients as they journey on their own roller coaster ride, whether it be long or short ride, they will be cared, supported and supplied with necessary equipment on that ride by your generosity. 💙💙

Good golly, we started the day with a lovely sounding $1000 raised … which increased to $1050 - $1075 - $1175 - $1225 …. Yes $1225 is OUR current total.
Simply amazing and huge thanks to you all. Hoping to do the last 13 laps tomorrow, provided it’s not pouring at 10.30 am at the Edwardes Park Aths Track! Only 13 laps to go and it’s just 5.2 kms!!

So exciting to let everyone know “WE have now reached $1000”
I’m totally overwhelmed by your generosity to support MND Vic to continue supplying care, support and equipment for all MND clients.

Wow, how exciting that our total is now $936. Thank you everyone for supporting this awesome organisation. I still have 13 laps to walk (5.2km) when the weather improves 👣👣👣👣

Thank you for all the donations to this worthy cause. I was very happy this morning to be joined by Jac, Milan and Luke when walking 13 more laps! I’ve now completed 28 laps with just 13 laps to go. Whoo Hoo. Remember every $ is appreciated and it all adds up to support MND Vic in providing care, support and equipment. Until there’s a cure, there’s care 💙💙💙

My back is still sore but with two friends this morning, I began that first lap of the 41 laps I have promised to do, before I head overseas. Yay 15 down, only 26 to go. All donations welcome and they will give me the extra push to keep going 👏💙👏

My friends are totally amazing people. I wasn’t keen to ask for donations so close to my last MND Vic fundraising effort, so I was suggesting $5 or $10 but my friends have been so generous and obviously believe in “Until there’s a Cure, there’s Care” 💞🙏💞 Bless you all xxx

30 May 2022

Half way there already so could you help? I know many of my family and friends supported my last MND Vic fundraising effort and I truly appreciate your kindness so this time a spare $5 or $10 from just a few people will get us closer to that $470 total. Stay warm and thank you for reading my post xxx
