MidCoast Council held a fundraising month last October to raise funds and awareness for MND NSW. Each Monday morning they held a morning tea with trolley treats and merchandise sales, ending the month with a fundraising BBQ lunch on Friday 25 October.
We’re running a series of free information days throughout the year at different locations across the state especially for you. Our first “Living well with MND” day will be held at the Gosford RSL club on Thursday 27 February. We’d love for you to attend one of these education events.
At a previous Living well with MND day one person said “attending Living well with MND was such a valuable experience for all our family. We now feel more confident, informed about our choices and what we can do to make life with MND easier. It was good to meet others in similar situations and we learnt a great deal. A great day!”

A colour run was organised by Tracy Anderson from Totally Tumbling and Tricks to raise funds for MND research. It was a fun, and messy, day out for eveyone who participated! Our thanks to Bronwyn Wood who attended on behalf of MND NSW. A big thank you to Tracy for all her work towards this event which raised $3,298 for MND research.
