We’re celebrating 10 years of Daniher’s Drive by hitting the road in South Australia! For the first time, we’re taking the convoy through the Peninsula, Adelaide Hills and the Barossa by day, and calling Adelaide CBD home by night. Registrations are now open!
Daniher’s Drive 2026
For the first time ever, FightMND’s Daniher’s Drive is hitting the road beyond Victoria – and we’re heading to South Australia! Join 200 participants on an unforgettable three-day experience combining stunning drives, incredible events, and the shared mission to fight Motor Neurone Disease.
We will be hitting the road between Thursday 8 – Sunday 11 October, 2026 and it’s already shaping up to be an unforgettable experience. One you won’t want to miss.
What is Daniher’s Drive?
Daniher’s Drive is a four-day road trip with purpose. Bringing the spirit of FightMND to our regional communities. These communities have backed us from day one, and the Drive is our way of giving back. Saying thank you, raising awareness, and generating vital funds for MND research and care initiative.
It’s about connection, community, and putting the fun in fundraising. Whether you’re personally touched by MND or simply want to help make a difference, this event is for you.
