Big Freeze 8 raises a record-breaking $19.8M for FightMND

Thanks to the enormous generosity of the Australian public and the FightMND Army, the Big Freeze 8 has raised a record-breaking $19.8 million for FightMND.

To everyone who bought a beanie, donated, volunteered, or hosted their own community fundraiser – we can’t thank you enough! FightMND’s partners, including Coles, Bunnings and the AFL are also integral to the success of the Big Freeze 8, and this year was no different.

Every dollar raised takes us another step closer to finding a cure for MND.

A huge congratulations to Simon Hicks from Team Lorna's Cobram Crew who on Saturday night won the Daniher's Drive @jaycoaustralia raffle. He was stoked to become the proud owner of a Jayco Starcraft Bushback Caravan generously donated by our friends at Jayco. An added bonus is that he was in the room at Lardner Park when his name was called. Simon, his siblings Naomi and Warren, lost their mother Lorna to MND in 2002 and have been long-time supporters of FightMND. The raffle helped raise more than $200,000 for FightMND, making it our most successful raffle ever! Thanks to everyone who bought a ticket.

MND is a Beast. It is an insidious disease without any effective treatment or a cure. But over the past eight years, FightMND has been able to make real change. With your support, we have invested over $55.9M in research that is beginning to show real promise.

We don’t know when the big breakthrough will come, but when it does, every single person who buys a beanie or donates to FightMND can know that they played a part in making it happen.
