Our good friend Peter Chambers is back with a hilarious and relatable short film, Cranky Pete, which he has submitted in the Focus on Ability Short Film Festival.

MND is a devastating disease but what we continuously see in so many people who are affected by MND is their resilience, their willingness to connect and support one another and their ability to laugh in the face of the Beast. Cranky Pete is a great example of this!

What a legend 💪 After losing his dad to MND, Adam decided to run 200km to raise vital funds and awareness in the fight against MND. This is DOUBLE the distance he ran previously for this important cause!

“Completing this run became about more than just the kilometres. It was about proving to myself that I could overcome adversity and use that experience to create something positive for a cause that means so much to me.” 💛

Investing in research will get us to our goal of a world free from MND and we're going to reach our goal by supporting some of the brightest minds in research, like Dr Christen Chisholm! The study she leads with a team from UOW: University of Wollongong, Australia, and funded by FightMND, could offer a new way of treating inherited forms of MND 💪

With support from a Chris Ross Clinical Care PhD Grant, PhD candidate Lisa Cozma is focusing on the MND community. Her research hopes to understand the energy demands of everyday movement, and help those with MND save energy and maintain independence longer.

The scholarship is made possible through the extraordinary legacy of Chris Ross, who fought his MND diagnosis until August 2023. His advocacy and the ongoing fundraising efforts of the Run4Rossy community are driving progress in MND care and research to work towards a world free from MND.

When Year 11 student Jack's beloved Poppa, David, was diagnosed with MND, he wanted to do something that would honour him and raise awareness of the disease. So Jack set himself an extraordinary challenge: walk 400,000 steps in seven days, one step for every person around the world currently living with MND.

Tragically, David passed away the night before Jack was due to begin. "It was hard to get up the next morning and do it, but it was all for him. I know that every step I did was with him and for him as well."

Through sore feet, pouring rain and 60,000 steps a day, Jack never gave up. Along the way, he raised more than $14,000 to help fund vital MND research and support Australians living with the disease. "What I did was hard, but for someone living with MND, what they do every single day is incredibly hard."

Jack, thank you for showing us what's possible when you decided to make every step count, your Poppa would be very proud 💙

This weekend, KATRINA takes on her first full marathon and we couldn’t be prouder to have her running for FightMND.

Katrina started running after losing her Mum to motor neurone disease (MND). What began as a way of processing that grief, has become something bigger: a way of fighting back.

At the start of last year, she says she couldn’t run 5km. Last Sunday, she ran 32km — the longest run of her training and the furthest she’ll go before race day.

This Sunday, Katrina will cross the finish line of her first marathon. 💙 Go Katrina!

What does Neale Daniher's legacy and the Big Freeze mean to the MND community?

Peter Chambers, who is living with MND, shares a heartfelt reflection on what the Big Freeze has come to represent for so many people impacted by the disease.

We think there is something pretty special about walking past someone wearing a Big Freeze Beanie and knowing they're on the same team as you, no matter the colour of their scarf. It's a simple reminder that together, we're united in the fight against MND.

Thank you, Peter, for sharing your perspective on ABC News 💙

How good are these legends!!!

While Big Freeze may be over, supporters across the country are still Playing On by hosting DIY fundraisers, taking on challenges and bringing their communities together to help find effective treatments and ultimately a cure for MND.

From morning teas and footy matches to workplace fundraisers, trivia nights and everything in between, every DIY makes a difference 💙

Today, on Global MND Awareness Day, we honour those living with MND, remember those we've lost, including our co-founder's Neale Daniher and Ian Davis, and recognise the families, carers and loved ones who continue to face this disease every day.

In Australia, two people will be diagnosed with MND today, and two people will die from the disease.

Through the vision, determination and advocacy of our founders, MND awareness in Australia has grown significantly, helping drive investment in research, improve care and give hope to those impacted. Since 2014, FightMND has invested in research and care initiatives, helping accelerate progress towards effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

Today, we reflect on how far we've come, while recognising there is still much more to do. We will keep going as the fight continues.
