Your legacy will champion hope for people impacted by MND
Leaving a Gift in your Will
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a devastating disease and currently, there are more than 2,000 Australians living with MND, with an average life expectancy of just 27 months from diagnosis.
Today, two Australians will die from MND, and two more will be diagnosed.
There is currently no truly effective treatment or known cure.
This is why we fight. And this is why many of our supporters choose to leave FightMND a Gift in their Will.

Why I have left a gift in my Will to FightMND
“I decided to leave a portion of my estate to FightMND.
It started when I heard Neale Daniher had been diagnosed and suddenly I became aware of the insidious condition and while I have been lucky not to have anyone close with MND, I was motivated to assist in finding a cure and support such a cause.
Unfortunately it takes a high profile person like Neale to bring the implications and the devastating impact of this condition to the attention of the broader community.
I have lost family members to cancer and I decided some time ago if I can assist in a small way to beating these conditions, I could do it through donations and ultimately through my estate.
If you have $1 or more to donate to FightMND, the amount does not matter as every donation makes you a member of this incredible FightMND team, and as a collective we all share the same aim which is to defeat the Beast as referred to by Neale Daniher.
As Martin Luther King said, “I have a dream”, and in my dream, I see a future where the Beast is broken, beaten and defeated and people who are diagnosed with this insidious condition can live a fruitful life.
I can see that day and, with every dollar donated, we can all stand proud and say we were part of a team that helped to defeat the Beast for good.“
