More than just a Beanie. It’s your superpower against MND
It’s not a cape, and it won’t give you laser vision. But the Big Freeze 11 Beanie is packed with serious power. The moment you pull it on, you’re suiting up. Not for a blockbuster battle, but for a real-world mission: taking down motor neurone disease (MND).
This isn’t just a Beanie. It’s your symbol. Your rally cry. Your superhero signal in the sky.
With every Beanie purchased you’re funding high-impact research, life-changing care and creating hope for those living with MND. You’re joining a league of everyday legends who’ve chosen to rise, rally and live it forward for those who can’t.
Your Beanie. Your impact.
$50 – The power of connection
Two Beanies is the spark to create change. These funds help researchers peer into microscopes to study motor neurons for critical insights. It could also give someone with living with MND a communication headset that reconnects them to their world.
$250 – Fuel for discovery
Ten beanies? That’s lab-grade fuel. You could be powering a full month of research reagents or helping scientists grow MND cells in the lab – giving them a clear target to strike. Or maybe you’re helping families get medical equipment faster and at a lower cost. You’re leveling up.
$500 — Growing real hope
At this level, you’re opening serious doors. Twenty beanies could support drug testing in zebrafish (science’s tiny superheroes) or give researchers access to global gene databases to uncover MND’s secrets. You might also back online training tools for carers of people living with MND. Or fund blood tests tracking how patients respond to new treatments. You’re powering hope and progress.
$1,000 — Comfort and courage
Forty beanies could mean MRIs and DNA scans that decode the disease. It can also mean respite care for exhausted families. You’re giving people living with MND, and their loved ones, the space to rally and the strength to keep going.
$5,000 — A lifeline
A gift of $5,000 – that’s 200 Beanies! – helps shift the fight in the battle against MND. Your support could contribute to training artificial intelligence systems to customise mechanical breathing support for people living with MND. Or it can provide a care package to a person living with MND to support them with help to clean and garden. Your generosity might even be connecting people to advocacy groups to ensure their voices lead the charge.
You’re writing the future.
