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!
