Story
On Saturday 9 November 2019, over 600 firefighters will be climbing the iconic Sydney Tower Eye as quickly as possible in full structural fire fighting ensemble 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 Eye, each carrying an additional 20kg of gear. 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 ALS, or Lou Gehrigs Disease. It doesn’t matter what you call it you don’t want it. Normal healthy fit people exactly like you get MND. It strikes indiscriminately, at anytime with no proven explanation.
MND is a progressive, terminal neurological disease. MND 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.
I have set myself a goal to raise $3,008 (two dollars per stair firefighters will climb up the Tower) and I need your help with a donation, big or small.
Every dollar raised will directly support vital MND research at the Macquarie University MND Research Centre.
Every cent helps. Please dig deep.
