Raising funds and awareness for the fight against Motor Neurone Disease, MND, is the aim of FightMND’s annual regional road trip, planned to set off on October 12.
Driven over four days, Daniher’s Drive is an opportunity to gather friends and family together to form a team with a fundraising car and contribute to the fight against MND.
Travelling through Swan Hill, Shepparton, Lancefield, Romsey, and Creswick, the drive will feature about 60 cars and more than 250 people contributing to the significant money raised for MND research and care so far.
FightMND co-founder Neale Daniher said the drive was designed to put the ‘fun’ into fundraising.
“We are incredibly appreciative of the wonderful support from all the regional communities in the build-up to this year’s event,” he said.
“Thanks to our awesome teams and sponsors, and everyone who has contributed along the way since our first drive back in 2015.
“I’m proud to say that since that first tyre rolled, we’ve raised over $12 million that FightMND has been able to direct towards research to find a cure and care for those people like me, living with MND.”
Registration fees are $600 per person and include a polo shirt and cap, and car decals, as well as access to exclusive day and night events with all meals and beverages.
Each four-person team must fundraise a minimum of $5000 and can be assisted by the FightMND team in setting up shareable online fundraising pages, ideas, posters and social media graphics.
For $50 per ticket, participants can also enter the Daniher’s Drive Jayco raffle for the chance to win a brand-new caravan. .
“We look forward to seeing as many people as we can on the road, at our community and night events and please help us ‘beat the beast’ by purchasing a ticket in our Daniher’s Drive Jayco caravan raffle,” Mr Daniher said.
