Team MND City2Sea

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a neurological disease which is always terminal. Currently there is no known cause, active treatment or cure. MND affects people of all ages, with the average age of diagnosis between 50 and 70, although people in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 80s also get the disease.

City2Sea is a great event for those who want a challenge - whether it's the 14km run or 5km walk. It is also a great opportunity to raise much needed funds for MND Victoria so that we can continue to support Victorian families living with this disease.

Creating your individual (or team) Fundraising Page to raise money for MND

Creating your page is easy and is a good way to let your family, friends and work colleagues know what you are doing and why. You can post photos of yourself or the person who has inspired your participation. Your page can be updated whenever you want and is easy to share on Facebook, Twitter or other social media. So why wait - just select Start Fundraising and you will be on your way to helping Victorians living with MND.

As part of our awareness campaign, we'd love you to wear an "I'm Running To D-Feet MND" singlet. These come in sizes Adult Small, Medium, Large, XLarge and 2XLarge. There is no charge for the singlets so email your size and contact details to: knightingale@mnd.asn.au

Share your Page

You can share your online Fundraising Page with your friends, family and work mates by email, Facebook or Twitter. Your friends can sponsor you and leave a message. Your donors will receive their donation receipt immediately

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.

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.
