Sept 27-Nov 27
The FightMND 27 Challenge
It’s time to sign up for the 27 Challenge and fundraise for FightMND and for further research into MND as we strive to create a world free of MND.
The number 27 represents the average life expectancy of someone diagnosed with MND – just 27 months from diagnosis. That is what we want to change and with your help we can.
The FightMND 27 Challenge is aimed at getting active, having fun and bringing family and friends together, either physically or virtually. while embracing the number 27.
The choice is yours!
You can walk, run, cycle, roll, jump, swim, spin, do push-ups, sit-ups or mix it up over 27 days. You can use the 27 Challenge Mix ‘n Match grid and choose some or all of the activities to complete – it’s up to you!
How will you embrace 27? Will it be with minutes, hours, kilometres, laps, goals or something else?
Good luck and enjoy your challenge

Big Freeze 6
Each year, a group of ‘A-List’ celebrities take the icy plunge sliding into the Big Freeze pool all in the name of raising critical funds to help fine a treatment and cure for MND. Due to the restrictions in place as a result of COVID-19, the Big Freeze extravaganza will look different in 2020, but will have the same degree of excitement and purpose as previous years. There won’t be a Queen’s Birthday slide this year but players from all 18 AFL clubs have signed up to participate in their own ‘ice challenge’.
June 20 & 21, 2020
