We are fighting to defeat the Beast
FightMND is driven by a single and urgent purpose – to find effective treatments and a cure for Motor Neurone Disease.
We have invested more than $97 million in the fight against the Beast. But the battle is far from over.
FightMND invests $20.2M in the fight against MND in 2023
What are we fighting for?
We are fighting to beat 'The Beast'
Our vision is a world without Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and it takes an army of people to help achieve this.
Our core aims are to generate greater awareness of the disease, to fund world-class research and drug trials to find an effective treatment and ultimately a cure for MND and provide assistive care equipment to many Australians fighting the disease.
There is no known cause, limited knowledge of the natural course of the disease, there is no effective treatment and there is no cure.
We call it ‘The Beast’. This is why we fight.
