Shelley is putting in a mega effort to run 700km in 3 months to raise awareness about MND, and raise vital funds for MND NSW so we can be there for people living with motor neurone disease at every stage of their MND Journey.

Over 6 years ago I had my first experience with Motor Neurone Disease as a carer and budding health professional. Since then, I have been so privileged to work with and care for clients with MND and support their families as best I can from diagnosis to end of life. This has led me to see such powerful and urgent gaps in our health industry, funding bodies, educational support, and allied health research.
