We’re freezing the nation with State Freeze events in South Australia, Queensland, and Western Australia.

FightMND was established in 2014 by Neale Daniher AO, Pat Cunningham and the late Dr Ian Davis. We are a founder led organisation with a vision of a world free from motor neurone disease (MND). FightMND works to raise awareness and fund vital research to improve the quality of life and find treatments and, one day, a cure for those living with MND.
Since 2014, FightMND has invested more than $115 million into MND research and care projects supporting Australian’s living with MND. This includes 15 clinical trials for Australian patients and 34 drug development projects.
For years, the FightMND community has shown the power of coming together and daring to do incredible things in the fight against the Beast. Now it’s your chance to team up with FightMND with Big Freeze in your Community.
Motor neurone disease (MND) is a group of diseases that attack the nerve cells controlling the muscles needed to move, speak, swallow, and breathe. As these neurons stop functioning, the muscles weaken and waste away. By teaming up with FightMND for Big Freeze in your Community you’re taking an important step in the fight against this devastating disease.
Whether you’re hosting a DIY Freeze, challenging your mates, or simply wearing the Big Freeze 11 Socks, every action counts. Each effort, big or small, brings us closer to a world without MND.
What are you waiting for? Bring the Big Freeze to your Community and help us fight the Beast.
