The Binalong Brahmans Rugby League Football Club is a small sporting club in the village of Binalong. Throughout their 2017 season they have been raising funds at every home game and also held a charity day. A number of players and community members have been affected in some way by MND. A very big thank you to the Club who raised $4,000 for MND NSW. Thanks also to Nicole Papasidero who attended the Club's recent presentation dinner to accept the donation on behalf of MND NSW. Pictured are Alison Spencer (Club Secretary), Nicole Papasidero, Ben Spencer (Club President) and baby Ian.

Thank you to Ali Cooke of A La Mode Events who organised the very successful Five Senses Twilight Market in Lambton Park, with MND NSW as the chosen charity benefiting from the event. Our thanks also to Louise Evans and her family who volunteered at the markets selling raffle tickets and MND NSW merchandise. A fantastic $2,000 was raised.
