What an amazing turn out to the first Walk to d’Feet ever held in Young. We had 272 participants who got involved and helped us to raise $20,352 to date! To put this in perspective, this money could buy an electric wheel chair 4 shower chairs and 4 transfer belts  and make a real difference to people living with MND. We would like to acknowledge the support of the amazing local businesses who helped us make it such a special day including; Jaclyn from That Coffee, The Lions Club of Young, Chloe from Clicky Cookies,Molly from Moava, Bev Moloney & her wonderful preserves stall, our face painter Katie, Toni from Salami Bros Pizza, Stephen from Whip 1 4U Ice Cream Van and Sheree from the Criterion Hotel.

‘The support we’ve had from the community is inspiring. We couldn’t be more thankful to those giving up their time to help us in this important cause.’
—Graham Opie, CEO at MND NSW.

We can’t thank everyone who got involved enough for making the walk so successful and bringing along family and friends (and of course pooches) to show support for people living with MND and their loved ones. Together, we’ve made a real difference in the lives of people touched by MND.

Surf clubs and local councils across Australia are increasingly focusing on ways to improve every day inclusion and access to open up their beaches and clubhouses to everyone in their community.

Thank you to Stephanie Dickie who raised $615 at the Hillston Show. Stephanie and her miniature horses, Beau and Santos, gave carriage rides for a donation to MND NSW. We think they look great in their MND NSW bandanas!
