## Resource

Melbourne’s Big Freeze returned with heart-stopping energy, honoring Neale Daniher just two weeks after his passing — a man whose battle with MND turned into a national movement. Celebrities plunged into icy waters, fans donned blue beanies in solidarity, and even Australia’s Governor-General joined the cause. Daniher’s legacy, forged through personal struggle and unwavering advocacy, echoed through every splash and cheer. With nearly $23 million raised last year and new voices like Jai Arrow stepping forward, the fight for a cure continues — fueled by love, loss, and the unshakable belief that one day, MND will be defeated.
