Real impact. Real care. Real support for Australians living with MND - now.

Thanks to their incredible support, this year FightMND has worked with Coles to introduce the Coles Care Grants. These Grants will help deliver vital equipment, respiratory support, communication technology and tailored care services for people living with MND right across Australia.

This is what choosing to fight looks like. Together, we Play On, for Neale.

Today, on Ian’s birthday, we remember FightMND co-founder Dr Ian Davis OAM.

Ian helped shape FightMND with a laser focus on one thing, getting treatments to people living with MND faster.

As a clinician, researcher and person living with MND, he understood the urgency of this fight better than most. His belief in bold thinking, collaboration and accelerating research continues to drive FightMND core values forward today.

Together with Neale Daniher and Pat Cunningham, Ian helped build a movement that continues to inspire Australians to stand together against the Beast.

We Play On, for Ian. For Neale. For everyone impacted by MND.

We think this guy might be used to the cold…. from the NSW South Coast to Olympic gold!

Cooper Woods grew up with skiing in his blood and in 2026 stormed home to win gold in the Men’s Moguls with three of the best runs of his career.

Can’t wait to see him take on the Big Freeze slide at the ‘G 🥶

Beloved Sunrise weather presenter and great friend of FightMND, Sam Mac helped launch Big Freeze 12 this year and was asked to be our first Big Freeze Slider of 2026 by our very own Jan Daniher 💙

Sam knows first-hand the effects of MND and we're so lucky to have him in this fight against the Beast.
