Over 2,000 people attended this year’s Navratri 2017 Garba Dance on Saturday 23 September at Kellyville organised by Gujarati Brahman Samaj of NSW Inc. The Navratri Garba is an Indian cultural dance that is a spectacle of colour with spiritual significance that celebrates the Mother Goddess, the Universal Mother, showering her love and affection on all humans.
MND Ambassador Ben Gooley attended and spoke about the work of MND NSW and the amazing support received from the organisers. Also amongst the invited guests were Alex Hawke MP, a friend and supporter of MND Australia, Dr Geoff Lee, MP for Parramatta and Dr Michelle Byrne, Mayor, The Hills Shire Council. The night was a spectacular success raising not only awareness about MND but also over $19,000 to support people living with MND and MND research.
