Story

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 and I, 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 the degenerate and die. A person’s senses and intellect are not affected.

On Saturday 20 October 2018 I will be climbing the iconic Sydney Tower Eye, all 1504 stairs (98 floors!), along with hundreds of other firefighters as quickly as possible in full structural fire fighting ensemble weighing over 20kg to raise money and awareness for Motor Neurone Disease (MND). It will be a gruelling challenge, however it is nothing in comparison to the challenge patients with MND face every day.

Please help me raise vital funds for research to stop this devastating disease.
