Surrounded by the smell of burning rubber and the loud, heart-racing hum of F1 race cars, Rocky Pirrottina watched his team take victory in Melbourne in March.

Stephanie van Hilten has been a respiratory physiotherapist for 34 years, working in many areas of the cardiothoracic specialty - intensive care, surgical, cardiac, rehabilitation, sleep and neuromuscular disorders. In 2021 she moved solely into the community space where she sees patients in her clinic and in their homes - many of those home visits are to people living with motor neurone disease.

This week is National Volunteer Week, and we'd like to take the opportunity to thank all our amazing volunteers. 

We see you helping us at the office, out and about in the community, at our Walks, and at our events for people living with MND and their carers. Without you, we simply couldn't do what we do, and we'd like to say a big thank you for your amazing effort and commitment to supporting us and our MND community.
