The communities of Mt Hotham and Dinner Plain ask everyone to join in a fund raising event to support the Motor Neurone Disease Association of Victoria (MNDV).

During the month of August we will hold a beard growing campaign. Anyone can join us by not shaving for the month! All you need to do is set up your individual fundraising page and send the link to those who wish to sponsor you.

Alternatively, find a participant you would like to sponsor on the webpage and follow the prompts to make your donation.

An evening is arranged at Rundells in Dinner Plain on the 31st August from 7pm. For those who cannot stand the itching any longer there will be a “shave off” to get rid of all the unwanted whiskers!

Please help us to increase the awareness of MND and support the MNDV who in turn provide support for Pete and his family.

Working towards a world without MND.

Mission

To provide and promote the best possible care and support for people living with MND.

The objectives of MND Victoria are:

To provide the best possible care and support for people living with MND.
To collect and share the best available advice on living with MND.
To create and foster links between people living with MND by providing opportunities for interaction.
To raise awareness of MND and the needs it creates.
To develop and maintain relations with MND Associations within Australia and overseas.
To foster and maintain links that help us achieve our mission.
To encourage and support research initiatives and disseminate knowledge of research progress.
To achieve our mission through innovation and influence.

MND Victoria came into existence on October 13, 1981 at a meeting attended by a small group of people with MND and their families, staff of health and welfare groups and other concerned people.

Direction of MND Victoria is controlled by a State Council of twelve members of the Association of whom six must be people with MND, carers, or close associates. The Association is managed by an Executive Director and staff.

Professional staff are employed for delivery of services to people living with MND, their families, community workers, service providers and health professionals. In conducting the Association's activities and in the provision of services, the staff are assisted by over 100 generous and dedicated volunteers.

MND Victoria has regular contact with similar organisations in other States through the Motor Neurone Disease Association of Australia (MNDA), an umbrella group that serves as a forum for national communication and cooperation. Member organisations participate in a national MND Awareness Week, which is held in May each year.

Through its membership of MND Australia, the Victorian Association participates in an International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations and the global effort to conquer MND.
