25.01.2022 Just a reminder that the Walk to D-Feet MND Gold Coast event that we had planned for tomorrow is cancelled. We hope to bring you the walk again in 2021. Thanks to those that continued fundraising and are doing their own walks tomorrow. Don't forget to tag us in your photos and videos @MNDAQ. #nevergiveup

25.01.2022 Walk to D-Feet MND Gold Coast is coming up in just 7 weeks. Sign up now and join us for this lovely morning of connection, community and remembering, as we raise funds so we can keep supporting those facing this horrid disease. www.mycause.com.au/events/walk2dfeetmndgc2020

24.01.2022 Walkers! We're pleased to let you know that we now have three Walk to D-Feet MND events open for registration! You can register for the Gold Coast walk which is coming up on Sun 29 March by visiting https://www.mycause.com.au/events/walk2dfeetmndgc2020. This year, on Sun 3 May, there is a special national walk day which will see thousands of Australians walking at sites all around the country for Motor Neurone Disease. In Queensland, our official walk will be at Robelle Dom...ain, Springfield Central from 9AM. We've been getting requests for years to bring our walk to the Ipswich region, so we thought this was a great opportunity and hope that all the local community get behind the event. You can register and start fundraising at https://www.mycause.com.au/events/walk2dfeetmndsfield2020. Paid participants in this event will get a special national t-shirt. Then on Sun 24 May we have our Walk to D-Feet MND Brisbane which is going to be at a new location - New Farm Park (near The Powerhouse) - and we'll be enjoying a lovely walk along the river. Registrations for this event have just opened. https://www.mycause.com.au/even/walktodfeetmndbrisbane2020 These walks are major fundraisers for MND Queensland and allow us to continue to provide quality services and supports to families impacted by Motor Neurone Disease in Queensland, so please get behind us and support these events so we can continue our vital work. #MND #NeverGiveUp #Walking #Fundraising #Sponsorship

24.01.2022 Team Woodvine Captain Jo is set to go on her new set of wheels for the Gold Coast Walk to D-Feet MND. Bring it On she says!!

23.01.2022 We regret to inform you that the Walk to D-Feet MND Gold Coast scheduled for Sunday 11 October has been cancelled. We are encouraging those who have already registered to do your own walk on the day in a local park with your family/friends (keeping COVID-safe measures in mind). We are hoping that you'll tag us and help increase awareness about MND over social media. For those that have already registered we are happy to send out your t-shirts, please contact us via [email protected] to confirm your postal address. We'll be sending out t-shirts at the end of this week. We apologise for any inconvenience and hope you understand that this decision was made with the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, vulnerable clients and of course, you in mind. We hope to bring you the walk in 2021 and hope that we can rely on your support once again next year.

23.01.2022 We are sorry to inform you that the Walk to D-Feet MND Brisbane 2020 has been cancelled. We were aiming to host the walk at New Farm Park on Sunday 25 October, but due to the COVID-19 risk to our staff, volunteers, vulnerable clients and valued participants, we have decided to cancel the walk. For those that have already registered for the walk, we urge you to still walk on the day (or on 11 October when the cancelled Gold Coast walk was set to happen) with your family/friend...s in a local park and tag us on social media to still help raise awareness about MND. We are happy to send out your t-shirts, please let us know ASAP of your postal address by emailing [email protected] (we have also emailed all registered participants with this message). We apologise for any inconvenience, but hope that you can understand why we had to make this tough decision. We hope that 2021 is a different environment and hope to bring you the Brisbane walk next year.

17.01.2022 The brutality of MND is that it can sneak up on anyone. Troy Kerrigan is your average 56 year old Gold Coaster. On November 28, 2019 after investigating some co...ncerns, his suspicions were confirmed and he was diagnosed with Bulbar Onset Motor Neurone Disease. In Troy's words, "This officially became the first day of the rest of our life. Although I don't for one minute under estimate the challenges my beautiful wife Michele and I will have to face in the future, we are determined to meet them with dignity and good humour." Never has Troy's life motto resonated more, and he says he now refers to it on a daily basis, "If you can laugh at it, you can live with it". True to Troy's can do attitude, he and Michelle have signed up Team T-Roy for the Gold Coast Walk to D-Feet MND and they "look forward to walking with all the other beautiful soles on the 29th of March, and raising funds and awareness for MND along the way." Troy says the support he has received since diagnosis has sincerely humbled him, and this is demonstrated by the willingness & enthusiasm of his family and friends to either join he and Michele on the Gold Coast Walk to D-Feet MND, or to donate to Team T-Roy." And what a wave of support Troy has gathering around him! Team T-Roy has already raised over $3,500 and has 32 registered walkers. Such a superb effort!! With a month to go till the Walk, we can't wait to see where Team T-Roy takes their fundraising efforts to and who else signs up. Which other teams will take up the challenge to join them in raising vital funds and awareness for Queenslanders living with MND?

04.01.2022 Gold Coast Walk Alert! - We regret to inform you that due to the Coronavirus we have had to postpone the Walk to D-Feet MND Gold Coast which was scheduled for Sunday 29 March. We are already speaking with Gold Coast City Council to lock in another date for later this year and hope to host the walk in spring. The decision to postpone the event in this current environment wasn't made lightly, but we had to take into account the health and wellbeing of our clients, supporters, v...olunteers and staff and we believe that this decision is in everyone's best interest. As soon as we have a new date for the walk we will let you know. For those that have already registered and begun fundraising, we hope that you will continue to support our effort. If you cannot make the postponed event date, we welcome you to make your registration fee a donation to MND Queensland, or you can request a refund by emailing Georgia at [email protected] with your registered name/s and she will gladly arrange a refund. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused for you. We look forward to bringing you this beachside walk later in the year. Thank you all for your understanding and valued support.

03.01.2022 With us all stuck at home and not able to attend Walk to D-Feet MND events, we decided to bring the event to you. Join us for Australia Moves 4 MND and help us ...raise funds to support Queenslander's living with MND. What better excuse do you need to put down the snacks, switch off Netflix and move your body. We don't care how you move, just that you move. Registration is free www.am4mnd.org.au so no excuses! :) Sign up now!! See more

02.01.2022 Right now we should be preparing to Walk to D-Feet MND on the Gold Coast along with hundreds of supporters, but sadly, due to the Coronavirus, we've had to post...pone this event, along with many other fundraisers that we've had to cancel or postpone. Most of MND Queensland's work to help people with Motor Neurone Disease relies on donations and community fundraising activities, and our budget has taken a HUGE hit due to the Coronavirus. We need your help now more than ever to be able continue to provide vital services to people with MND who are some of the most vulnerable in your community at the moment. Without your support, where will people affected by MND turn to for essential equipment, and expert information, advice and referrals? Please donate now by using the Paypal/Facebook link attached to this post (we don't see your details, but thank you for your generosity) or you can also donate online at https://www.givenow.com.au/mndaq where you can also sign up to be a monthly donor. You can also send a cheque or money order (made out to MND Queensland) to: MND Queensland, PO Box 470, INALA QLD 4077). If you would prefer to make a direct deposit donation, or donate by credit card over the phone, please call our office on 07 3372 9004. Thank you in advance for your support and please stay safe during this worrying time. #MND #donate #fundraising #charity #support #nevergiveup
