It takes people to defeat the Beast
In 2014, Neale Daniher AO, Pat Cunningham and the late Dr Ian Davis OAM founded FightMND. Their vision? 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.
Today, thanks to the generosity of the Australian community, FightMND invests in vital research and programs which provide essential support for Australians affected by MND.
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.
