💙 Happy World Occupational Therapy Day! 💙
Today, we’re celebrating the incredible occupational therapists (OTs) who make such a meaningful difference in the lives of people living with motor neurone disease.
Throughout the MND journey, OTs help people maintain independence, navigate changing needs and continue doing the things that matter most to them. 🩵
From recommending equipment and home modifications to supporting everyday activities and helping maintain quality of life, OTs play a vital role in providing practical, person-centred support.
A huge thank you to all the occupational therapists who work alongside people living with MND, their families and carers to help make everyday life a little easier.
Your care, knowledge and compassion make a difference. 💙
💬Want to give one of our OTs a shout-out? Leave them a message in the comments, and we’ll pass it on!

With the ongoing rain and soggy conditions at Scarness Esplanade we have made the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow’s Walk to Defeat MND in Hervey Bay.

However the team will be there from 8.30am to share the Walk to Defeat shirts with those who have registered. If it is safe please feel free to pop down.

We wont let the rain, or MND win.

Damians journey and fight with MND have inspired so many to come together, raise awareness and make a difference for people living with MND in Queensland 💙

Damian and Jane are sharing their experience and advocating for change through a petition calling for MND to be made a notifiable disease in Queensland.

We’re sharing the petition to give our community the opportunity to learn more about this. You can read more about Damian’s story, the reasons behind the petition and how to get involved in the original post below.

To all our wonderful volunteers, thank you for the time, energy and heart you give to our community. We couldn’t do what we do without you! 💙

💙 Making decisions about a PEG and MND

For some people living with MND, there may come a time to consider whether a PEG (feeding tube) is right for them.
These decisions can feel overwhelming, but having the right information and support can help you understand your options.
Everyone’s experience is different. Some people may choose a feeding tube, others may continue eating and drinking by mouth with acknowledged risk, and some may choose a combination of both.

Our multidisciplinary team, including dietitians, speech pathologists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists, can help you understand your options and make decisions based on your needs, wishes and what matters most to you.
At MND Queensland, we work together to support people living with MND, their families and carers throughout their journey.

You don’t have to navigate these decisions alone.
🌟 Start the conversation with your Allied Health Team.

💙 Meet Jane and Damian Andrews, our Hervey Bay Walk Champions! 💙

Sometimes the most beautiful things come from the hardest chapters of our lives.
For Jane and Damian, that’s Damian’s Journey and Fight with MND. What began as sharing their family’s experience has grown into a community of thousands, connecting people living with MND, families, carers and those grieving the loss of a loved one.

Along the way, they’ve discovered incredible kindness, support and lifelong friendships. As Jane and Damian lead our Hervey Bay Walk to Defeat MND, they’re helping share a powerful message:

🩵 You are not alone.
As Jane says, “You’re not just raising money to help families during a heartbreaking time. You’re showing people they are not alone, and that’s what really matters.”
🚶 Join Jane and Damian for our final Walk of the year!

Thank you, Jane and Damian, for sharing your journey and helping bring the Hervey Bay community together to support Queenslanders living with MND, their families and carers. 💙
