MND is a Beast. It is an insidious disease without any effective treatment or a cure. But over the past nine years, FightMND has been able to make real change. With your support, we have invested over $69.3M 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. We need you all in, and to keep fighting alongside us as we take on the ‘Beast’.

Introducing the first of our 2023 grant recipients.
Thanks to your incredible support, Professor Steve Vucic from @sydney_uni has been awarded funding to lead an Australian clinical trial together with neurologists in Italy. The trial will test a repurposed drug, ALCAR, to see if it can slow down disease progression in people with MND.
Together, we are fighting the Beast. 💙

Today is @ruokday 💙
At FightMND, mental health is a priority. We regularly check in with each other through our buddy system and our support services are always available to the team. It is so important to check in with those around you, not just today, but everyday.
Here’s a snap of Rohan & Alex checking-in with each other earlier this week!
The simple act of asking `are you OK` can make a world of difference in someone`s day.
