We would like to invite all children attending our Walk to d'Feet MND events this year to bring along a drawing of the person they are walking in honour of. We will have a board available at each Walk to display the drawings. Come on kids get those crayons and pencils out and start drawing.

Thank you to the wonderful support provided by the Rotary Club of Narrandera from their Christmas Party which raised $3,200 for research. Special thanks go to Joy and Robert Norrie together with Beth and Greg McVicker who organised and catered the event. Robert said of the evening, "We had a great night even though it was very hot, 36 degrees, until late. We had 98 people seated on our lawn beside the Murrumbidgee River. A chandelier hung in the overhead gum tree and as night settled in we were entertained by some of the Riverina Men’s Choir."

A very big thank you to Nick Moretti (pictured left with Graham Opie, MND NSW CEO) and his wonderful team from the Newcastle Italian Film Festival. This is the 5th year the Festival has supported the work of MND NSW with the most recent Festival raising $14,000. A huge achievement.
Thank you to the Kootingal Hotel and their amazing supporters who have raised over $16,700 for motor neurone disease from their Mullets for MND event. The idea for the event was to raise awareness and funds, and to have some fun along the way. The months of mullet growing culminated in a day of family fun, live music and the mullet judging competition. Thank you to the Kootingal community for your support.
