JOIN THE ALL IN FIGHT
Light up for MND
National Illuminations 2023
On the Big Freeze weekend, the nation will be turning blue for MND.
FightMND’s annual Illumination campaign aims to shine a light on the battle being fought by thousands of people across Australia who are diagnosed with MND.
When you see a building or landmark lit up in the iconic cornflower blue over the King’s Birthday weekend in June, you’re witnessing the incredible show of solidarity and support for those affected by MND. You’re witnessing Australia going #allinforMND.
It offers people an opportunity for a moments reflection to remember those who we’ve lost to MND, those who are currently battling the Beast, and all those who care for or have cared for a loved one with MND.
Currently, there are no viable treatments and no cure for MND, and the Illuminations are a means of raising awareness, and showing people living with MND that Australia is up for the fight alongside them.
In 2023, Illuminations are taking place right across Australia. Scroll down to find your nearest Illumination, and share it with us on social media but tagging us @fightmnd, and by using the hashtags #fightmnd #bigfreeze9 #allinforMND
