I had no idea nor had I ever really heard about this disease until Jimmy Demirov, Mr JD Performance the drag racing legend of Wollongong was diagnosed with this disease that eventually took his life. An idol that my husband looked up too, and Shelly Demirov, his daughter, a very close friend to our family. Watching her father and family go thru it first hand, we began to learn how this disease robs people of the ability to walk, speak, move, swallow, eat and eventually breathe. There is NO known cause and NO known cure. And the average person with MND usually only has only 2 to 3 years to live. Each week Ten Australians die from this disease and thats a big statistic to want raise awareness and funds to help provide the best possible care for people diagnosed with MND and their families I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Demirov, cheeky, quick witted and always had a story to tell so in memory of him I’m asking if you can sponsor me as I want to show my support for Jimmy & Shelly and endeavour to raise $5000 towards The Illawarra’s Walk to d'feet MND fundraiser. If you could leave a message by selecting the donate button above and Thankyou for supporting our efforts in raising money for this cause. My family and JETSKI EMPIRE will be attending The Illawarra's Walk to d'feet MND Event Next Sunday 18th February The walk is approx 5 km and is wheelchair and dogs on lead friendly. We encourage you to walk and wheel with your family, friends and pooches. Why not get a team together? There will be a sausage sizzle and live music to enjoy at the end of the walk.
