Today I head off on a road trip to the Home of the Glengarry Magpies (Gippsland) for Footy Oval walk #249 and then on to the Glengarry Pub for lunch. If you’ve pledged to make a donation to #FightMND in support of my walk, the time is now before I get to the MCG on Sunday 🙏

Footy Ovals - 10k Steps I'm raising money for a cause close to my heart and would love your support.

Since Jan 2022, I’ve walked more than 2,200km around different Senior Footy Ovals (9km / 10,000+ steps each). My upcoming 250th Oval walk will be around the MCG on Nov 30. To mark the occasion, I’m fundraising for #FightMND hoping to raise $1- for every step 🙏

For the remainder of the year, I will be posting a daily random photo from my past travels.

FightMND beanies return to Coles BIG Freeze Beanies are making a return to Coles this month to help raise important money for FightMND. Until Tuesday, June 17, shoppers can show their support for FightMND by purchasing a limited edition Big Freeze 11 Beanie for $25 at any Coles supermarket and selected Liquorland, First Choice Liquor Market and Vintage Cellars stores and on Coles online with all proceeds going to FightMND. Coles will also donate 10 cents to FightMND for every Coles fresh Aussie pork product sold in-store or online. Money raised will help give hope and support to thousands of Australians living with MND, including FightMND co-founder and AFL legend Neale Daniher, who earlier this year was recognised for his inspiration and tireless work in the community with the Australian of the Year award. The Daniher family has connections to the Latrobe Valley, with Neale’s son Ben playing for Moe Football-Netball Club. “This year marks another crucial step in our fight against motor neurone disease. At FightMND, we’re deeply grateful for the unwavering support of Coles and their customers. Their dedication helps drive crucial research and fuels hope for those living with MND,” Neale said. “Big Freeze 11 is about living it forward. Taking action now for a future free from motor neurone disease. By pulling on your Big Freeze Beanie, you’re making a real difference. “Live in the moment. Live it forward. Join me in the fight to beat the Beast that is MND.” Coles, its customers and Aussie pork farmers have warmly embraced the Big Freeze over the past seven years, helping to raise more than $40 million for vital MND research and care initiatives Kids-sized Big Freeze 11 Beanies, Big Freeze Socks and Big Freeze caps will also be available in selected Coles supermarkets, with 100 per cent of merchandise sales going to FightMND. A full list of participating products and stores is available at: www.coles.com.au/community. Customers can also make a donation of their choice to FightMND at the checkout in any Coles supermarket until Tuesday, June 10.

LV Express: FightMND beanies return to Coles #Community #BigFreeze #FightMND

The Big Freeze is an annual event in Australia that raises much needed money for MND/ALS research. This is the ice bath challenge at my local AFL game. #fightmnd

Last year, my colleague in Victorian Parliament, Labor MP Emma Vulin, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

On Monday, I'm joining MPs from across the political spectrum to be dunked into a tank of icy water as part of the #BigFreeze to #FightMND: support.fightmnd.org.au/fundraisers/...

It was special seeing Neale Danaher along the boundary line, with both teams and fans showing their respect. Neale is a true inspiration — we should savour every moment we have with him.

#FightMND #AFLDeesPies

#AFL #FightMND Very emotional watching Neale Daniher wheeled through a Guard of honour made by players from Melbourne and Collingwood and the Umps..

#AFL #FightMND Neale Daniher is an amazing fighter. To be still able to do a lap of honour after 11 years when most who get MND sadly have passed away is amazing. He is determined to fight and find a cure for others. I hope the Dee's win..Not because of Blues Pies rivalry but for Neale

Definitely the best bit was when Cadel Evans was dressed as Max Gawn and then Max Gawn came out. #BigFreeze #FightMND

You will always be an inspiration Neale Daniher your fight, guts, determination and character will always be a bright shiny star and you have proven that you have really fought the beast that is MND. #FightMND #BigFreeze11

Perfectly said Neale.

Such wisdom for people to actively be mindful of and action in their own lives.
