One of the many inspiring qualities of the MND Community is the way that it demonstrates support and encouragement. This year MND NSW has introduced online options to allow people with MND and their family members to connect, learn and to support one another without distance being a barrier. We have had family members of people with MND in NSW & ACT connect to our events from other parts of Australia, New Zealand and Singapore and as far away as Ireland!

A big congratulations to the hard-working committee from Gundaroo Music Festival on conducting a super successful covid safe event and raising over $15,000 for support of people living with MND. A huge thank you to the event sponsors especially their major sponsor McGrath Real Estate as well as their other sponsors including:

This year’s Walk to d’Feet MND was a little different but the thing we really loved about it was the way it allowed us to all Walk together. Our MND community is the best and we are so thankful that we were able to share this experience with so many people wherever they were (even across the world) and hear their stories throughout the day.

In late October Debra Larizza a long-term volunteer and Life Member of MND NSW is going to retire. While no-one deserves the chance to relax more than Debra, we can’t say that we’re not disappointed she’s going, because she is definitely one of the best volunteers ever!
