You can catch up on this episode on ABC iView here and read the backstory from Cameraman, Craig Berkman, here.

The end of the financial year has passed and we're heading towards Christmas. We'd like to thank all of our supporters in 2017/2018. Large and small we could not have provided the services, support and research funding we do without your generous support. MND NSW remains the only organisation that support all people with MND across NSW and the ACT.

We would also like to acknowledge the ongoing support from NSW Health, NSW FACS, Gundaroo Music Festival, Run MND, Riddla Golf Day and The Newcastle Film Festival.

A big thank you to Therese Kershaw and the Australian Bee Congress held recently on the Gold Coast. What a fantastic effort over $17,500 was raised through raffles and some lovely auction items.
