MND NSW members, families and supporters in the ACT or visiting Canberra are invited to attend a morning tea event at Parliament House Canberra on Wednesday 22 March. On this day, the Neurological Alliance Australia (NAA) will be conducting a special briefing for the Parliamentary Friends Group meeting of the Members of the NAA.

Last September the inaugural Rock to River Row raised $2,500 in support of MND NSW. Over five days the team of Jeff Huyben, Stuart Ord, Adam Thompson and Brett Wheeler rowed 500 kms on rowing machines in locations from Uluru to Alice Springs. We thank the team for their stellar effort and support.

Thank you to the following supporters.

• Wendy Whitmore and the Central Coast Fundraising Group who raised $1,047 from their Christmas Gift Wrapping fundraiser.
• Warners Bay High School, Year 12, 2017 who donated $500.
• Victoria Haberley who donated $2,600 from a carnival dunking booth and a comedy night.

Students at Casino High School enjoyed some end of year fun to raise money and awareness for MND, and soak some teachers in the process! An Ice Bucket Challenge was held which raised $911. Thank you to the staff and students.

What an inspiring way to make a difference! Grace is a beautiful young lady who decided to shave her head to help create awareness for MND. Alison, Grace’s mother, said, “My beautiful best friend has been hit with this disease so my amazing daughter Grace will shave her head to raise awareness.” Thank you Grace and Alison for your support.
