Daniher’s Drive raises over $2M for FightMND 

Start of the 8th Daniher’s Drive Wiiliamstown Oval on Thursday, October 10, 2024.

The chequered flag is down! Our incredible Drive teams have crossed the finish line for Daniher’s Drive 2024, and what a journey it has been! 

This year Daniher’s Drive raised more than $2 million for vital motor neurone disease (MND) cure research and care initiatives. This phenomenal achievement is thanks to the tireless efforts of our Drive teams, the generosity of the Australian community and the unwavering support of our fantastic Drive partners.  

Thanks to our Drive partners, including gold partner, Chemist Warehouse, silver partner PSC Insurance, raffle partner Jayco and night event partners CMV Truck and Bus and Bayside Coaches. Thanks also to our supporters Coles Express / Reddy Express, The Card Network and Hertz.  

The biggest thanks must go to our Drive teams. A big part of Daniher’s Drive is connection, and our Drive participants are family. Each have their own reason to take part in the Drive, with many having a personal connection to MND. We are continuously blown away by their fundraising efforts each year. To everyone who participated in the Drive, thank you.  

The funds raised through the Drive will be invested into MND research and care initiatives. Stay tuned for the announcement of our 2024 grant recipients later this year to learn more about the impactful projects and initiatives receiving support. 

While the Drive may be over for another year, you can still show your support during October, thanks to our incredible partner, Chemist Warehouse. Simply visit any participating Chemist Warehouse store, excluding Western Australia, and donate at the register. Be quick! The campaign finishes on 30 October 2024.  

Together we can drive towards a world without MND.
