Statewide Dan Murphy's Campaign Raises Over $55,000

MND Queensland was the beneficiary of a hugely successful Statewide campaign that saw 54 Dan Murphy’s stores selling merchandise and collecting donations and raising over $55,000 during a week in February.

The Dan Murphy’s team came together to support one of their own, Glen Martin who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in September 2022 and couldn’t return to his role as manager of the Toowoomba store.

Glen inspired his Area Manager to speak with all the store managers across Queensland to coordinate a week-long fundraising campaign to raise muchneeded funds for MND Queensland so that we can continue to be there when families impacted by a Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis need us the most.

During a State-wide managers online meeting, Glen spoke with his former colleagues about his MND diagnosis and the support he’d received from MND Queensland to inspire all of the stores to get behind the campaign.

We heard great feedback from our community and saw photos on social media of people wearing our silicon wristbands all the way up their arm!

The campaign wasn’t just an amazing fundraiser it also helped to raise awareness about MND in the wider community too.

We’re grateful to Dan Murphy’s stores and staff across the State for your fantastic effort.
