Walk to D-Feet MND Events - Brisbane and Gold Coast

from MND Queensland's The Cornflower Newsletter - Winter 2023 Edition

Thanks to our fundraisers for a fantastic effort

Brisbane and the Gold Coast have seen Walk to D-Feet MND events held in recent months. The Brisbane walk had Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, Health Minister Shannon Fentiman and Grace Grace MP attend.

In exciting news the Premier announced a $250,000 donation to MND Queensland during her speech at the Walk to D-Feet MND Brisbane on Sunday 21 May! This significant donation is very much appreciated, but is only a fraction of the funding we need annually to provide our expert, specialised services, so fundraising events will continue to be important for us.

The Brisbane walk saw over 300 participants gather at New Farm Park to walk along the beautiful Brisbane River. Together they raised over $35,000. Federal MP Stephen Bates and local Councillor Vicki Howard also attended.

The Walk to D-Feet Gold Coast was held on Sunday 26 March at Hollindale Park and had over 220 participants. Together this community of MND supporters raised over $21,000 from the event! Gold Coast Mayor, Tom Tate was our special guest at the event.

We’d like to thank our participants, your donors, our vendors and volunteers for making these such great events!

Watch out for more walks coming up on the Sunshine Coast on 6 August, Toowoomba on 10 September and Redcliffe on 22 October. Visit our website for more information or call us on 07 3372 9004.
