We are a founder led organisation with a vision of a world free from motor neurone disease (MND). FightMND works to raise awareness and fund vital research to improve the quality of life and find treatments and, one day, a cure for those living with MND. Since 2014, FightMND has invested more than $117 million into MND research and care projects supporting Australian’s living with MND. This includes 15 clinical trials for Australian patients and 34 drug development projects.

This week, we recognise and celebrate the invaluable role carers play across our MND community. Every day, carers provide emotional support, practical assistance, advocacy and unwavering compassion to people living with MND, often while balancing their own responsibilities and wellbeing.

Carers are at the heart of the MND journey, helping loved ones navigate challenges, maintain independence and live as well as possible. Their dedication, resilience and kindness make an extraordinary difference.

During Carers Week, we take the time to acknowledge their contributions, thank them for all they do, and remind them that support is available for them too. Join us in recognising, valuing and supporting the carers who give so much to others.

We could say things like community spirit, a shared vision of a world free from MND and laughing in the face of the Beast… but it’s hard to truly put into words what makes Daniher’s Drive so special. You just have to experience it for yourself. This year’s Daniher’s Drive in South Australia was the most special way to celebrate 10 years of the event.

Thank you to our partners Chemist Warehouse Official, Bayside Coaches and CMV Group for helping us create this amazing event. And to our participants - you are the heart and soul of the Drive 🫶🏼

We love bringing our supporters and researchers together 🤝🏼 Professor Zachary Munn and his team from the University of Adelaide came down to Athelstone Football Club to join in on some Daniher’s Drive fun and chat about their MND Care Guidelines project 🥶

A physiotherapist by background and an implementation scientist at the Institute for Breathing and Sleep and The University of Melbourne, Dr Marnie Graco's research has focused on non-invasive ventilation (NIV), a recommended treatment to support breathing for people living with MND.

This has resulted in the release of videos and question guides designed to help navigate the use of NIV - practical change providing value to people living with MND.

Although Tony has never had a personal connection to MND, he was inspired by the courage and determination of Neale Daniher and the mission of FightMND. For Tony, leaving a gift in his Will to FightMND is about creating a better future for people he may never meet. It's a tribute to the values he shared with his late wife, Kaye, and a way to support the long-term research needed to defeat MND.

We couldn’t be prouder 💛 last night our very own Jan Daniher was inducted into the 2026 Victorian Honour Roll of Women, recognised in the Change Agent category as a driving force behind one of Australia’s most significant health advocacy movements.

After her husband Neale Daniher’s MND diagnosis, Jan turned personal adversity into a movement that has improved lives, advanced scientific research and united Australians.

The fight against MND has come a long way since Neale’s diagnosis, and like we always say, It Takes People to keep landing blows against this Beast. With someone like Jan in our corner, we will create a future free from MND.
