It’s almost time again to freeze the nation, our signal to the world that the fight to find a cure for MND is on. Stay tuned for another iconic new Beanie design reveal as we march towards Big Freeze at the MCG on King’s Birthday.

About the Big Freeze
The Big Freeze is FightMND’s largest fundraising campaign, raising awareness and vital funds for MND research and projects supporting those living with MND
On Monday 8 June 2026, the MCG will be flooded with blue Beanies as brave celebrities take the plunge into Australia’s coldest ice bath ahead of the Collingwood vs Melbourne King’s Birthday clash. And we’re not stopping there! We’re freezing the nation with State Freeze events!
A football game is all about competition between two opposing sides. When it comes to the fight against the Beast, the Big Freeze shows that we’re all on the same team, united in our goal of a world without MND.
