DIY BIG FREEZE

Hold a DIY Big Freeze and help us beat the Beast.

Motor neurone disease (MND) is the name given to a group of diseases in which the nerve cells (neurones) controlling the muscles that enable us to move around, speak, swallow and breathe fail to work normally and eventually die. With no nerves to activate them the muscles gradually weaken and waste.

Make a splash in your community by holding your very own DIY Big Freeze. Gather your friends, family, teammates or colleagues and take a turn down your own Big Freeze slide, plunge into an ice bath, or hold an ice bucket challenge.

Whatever you can do, do it.

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a devastating disease. Today more than 2,000 Australians are living with MND. Their average life expectancy after diagnosis is just 27 months.

By the end of today, two Australians will die from MND. Two more will be diagnosed.

There is no treatment. There is no cure.

With your support, FightMND can make targeted investments in cutting-edge projects focused on fast-tracking new treatments and driving discoveries towards a cure.

The fight against MND is not over. Let your actions speak louder than words and donate today. Help us find a cure.
