Firies Climb for MND By Rachael VAUGHAN
FIRE FIGHTERS across Port Stephens have been training hard for a great cause. Regardless of their Brigade origin, they are united for a common goal, to raise funds and awareness for the horrific disease that kills two Australians everyday, Motor Neurone Disease (MND). MND is a progressive, terminal neurological disease. There is no known treatment or cure, and for every two Australians who die every day from MND, another two are diagnosed. Raymond Terrace Fire and Rescue and Medowie Rural Fire Brigade both have members training hard for their special fundraiser, ‘Firies Climb for MND’ on 20 October, 2018. All participating Fire Fighters will climb 1504 steps of the Sydney Tower Eye, in full fire fighting kit, weighing an extra 20 kilos on their bodies. You can join the cause,

If you’d like to support in person before the climb, the Medowie team have two more fundraisers you can contribute to. You can attend their Trivia fundraiser, organised by Amy LeMesurier and Louise McClelland as their contribution to the Lower Hunter RFS fundraising team. It will take place on 13 October at Medowie Community Centre, where there will be prizes for best dressed and best table decorations. Bookings can be made with Louise on 0407102282 for only $10 each. There is also a ‘bucket shake’ outside Wirreanda Public School on Friday October 19 where you can donate loose change, buy a drink cooler or a slap band. Kyra McGrorey-Clark,
