About us

Established in 2014, FightMND is the largest independent funder of motor neurone disease (MND) research in Australia. Our vision is a world without MND.

MND was first described over 150 years ago, but still remains a terminal diagnosis with no effective treatments or cure. FightMND is the voice for Australians who want to fight back against ‘the Beast’.

With help from our incredible supporters, we raise awareness and funds through a range of campaigns, partnerships, and events.
