We strongly encourage you or one of your teammates to attend the briefing as we will provide you with valuable information on preparing for the event and the weekend ahead.

π£ Today is Global MND Awareness Day! π
Let's join hands and raise awareness about Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Share this post to spread the word and make a difference.
π¬ What is Motor Neurone Disease?
MND is a relentless neurological condition that affects the motor neurones, which are responsible for transmitting signals from the brain to the muscles. Sadly, it is a progressive and terminal disease. MND can affect anyone, regardless of age or background. Currently, there is no known cure or effective treatment.
π€ You can make a difference:
1οΈβ£ Donate to Care Cure Support: Support the incredible work in providing care and assistance to individuals living with MND and research into finding a cure. Together, we can give hope & comfort to those fighting MND.
2οΈβ£ Join the 2023 Drive for MND: Get involved in this impactful initiative that aims to raise funds for MND research, patient support, and awareness programs. Together, we can drive towards a future free from MND.
3οΈβ£ Become a Corporate Partner: Are you a business or organisation looking to make a meaningful impact? Partner with us to support MND research, advocacy, and community outreach. Together, we can create a lasting change.
Let's stand together against MND and strive for a world where this devastating disease is no longer a threat. π
Purpose
Drive for MND is passionate about finding a cure for the bastard disease that is Motor Neurone Disease. The committee has all been personally affected by this disease & it has driven us to change the future for other families. Each day in Australia two people die from & each day in Australia two people are diagnosed with MND. People with MND progressively lose the use of their limbs and ability to speak, swallow and breathe, whilst their mind and senses usually remain intact & are given an average life expectancy is 2.5 years. For every person diagnosed with MND it is estimated that a further 14 members of their family and their friends will live with the effect of MND forever. Weβre calling all keen adventurers, driving enthusiasts and passionate fundraisers to join us on our annual West Aus adventure. Itβs time to FIND A CURE.
