Big Freeze 11 brings the chill to Qld and WA

The cold never felt so good! Queensland and Western Australia the Big Freeze 11 is rolling into town this weekend. The Brisbane Lions and West Coast Eagles are living it forward and turning up the chill in support of FightMND. With icy plunges, surprise guests, and thousands of Beanies, the fight against motor neurone disease (MND) is gaining serious momentum.
Whether you’re watching from the Gabba, cheering at Optus Stadium, sharing your Digital Beanie online or sporting a Beanie from your lounge room, there’s never been a cooler way to support a vital cause.
Queensland: Dare to Do and Wear Blue!
Queenslanders are known for their fierce loyalty to the maroon in June. But this year, we’re calling on you to switch things up. Just for a moment. Dare to Do by wearing blue! Why? Because we’re standing side-by-side with FightMND Co-Founder and Aussie legend Neale Daniher, your 2025 Australian of the Year, and every Queenslander battling MND today.
Come down to the Gabba on Saturday 14 June as the Lions take on GWS and get ready for a chilly thrill. One lucky Lions fan and a club legend will take on an icy challenge at quarter time to send a big, icy message to MND: We’re coming for you.
Big Freeze 11 Beanies and Caps will be on sale at the game. So, don your Beanie, or Cap, and show your support for the fight against MND.
