2025 Care research and PhD scholarship recipients announced
FightMND is investing $1.37 million into research aiming to improve quality of life, extend survival and shape best-practice care for people living with MND, while backing the next generation of researchers.
It takes people to defeat the Beast
Neale Daniher AO, Pat Cunningham, and the late Dr Ian Davis OAM founded FightMND in 2014 with a vision of a world free from motor neurone disease (MND). Their determination sparked a movement, uniting Australians from coast to coast in the fight against this relentless disease.
With collective action, the FightMND Army has raised more than $117 million. This has helped fund vital research, support Australians living with MND and drive progress toward a cure.
In recognition of his extraordinary leadership and advocacy, Neale Daniher AO was named the 2025 Australian of the Year. Despite his own battle with MND, Neale’s unwavering efforts have inspired a nation, proving that resilience and community can change lives.
Together, we fight. Together, we move closer to a future without MND.
Support us
Everything we’ve achieved so far is thanks to the effort of our supporters who believe in our vision of a world free of MND. But there is more to do. Whether you’re an individual, business or team, there are many ways you can join the all in fight and help us battle the Beast.
