What We're Fighting For
"MND isn't incurable; it's underfunded."
— Professor Dominic Rowe
The statistics are confronting:
A 300% increase in MND deaths since the 1980s
More than 800 Australians lose their lives to MND every year
1 in 200 Australians will die from Motor Neuron Disease
This is no longer a rare disease
Motor Neuron Disease doesn't discriminate. It affects firefighters, parents, partners, mates, and everyday heroes in communities across Australia. It robs people of their ability to move, speak, swallow, and breathe, while their mind remains fully aware.
For those diagnosed, time is precious. For their families, the impact is life-changing.
That's why we're climbing.
Every step taken in the Firies Climb for MND helps fund vital research, support services, and the fight to find effective treatments and ultimately a cure. Together, we can give hope to those living with MND and help ensure future generations don't face the same devastating diagnosis.
Join us. Climb with purpose. Climb for those who can't. General public can register to climb!
Together, we can make every step count.
