Marauding Magpies
Marauding Magpies
Story
On Saturday the 20th October 2018 the Marauding Magpies from Ourimbah Rural Fire Brigade will once again be climbing the iconic Sydney Tower along with hundreds of other firefighters as quickly as possible in full structural firefighting clothing and breathing apparatus to raise money and awareness for Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
Teams of firefighters will race to climb all 1504 stairs (98 floors) of the Sydney Tower, each carrying an additional 20kg of clothing and equipment.
It will be a gruelling challenge; however, it is nothing in comparison to the challenge patients with MND face every day. MND is Motor Neurone Disease or Lou Gehrigs Disease affects normal healthy and fit people and strikes indiscriminately, at any time with no proven explanation. MND is a progressive, terminal neurological disease and affects the nerve cells (neurones) controlling the muscles that enable us to move, speak, breathe and swallow, causing them to degenerate and die.
A person’s senses and intellect are not affected. Every dollar raised will directly support vital MND research at the Macquarie University MND Research Centre
