Dean + Paula met in primary school, however they didn't get together until they were 21. They married and had kids, both had successful businesses and life was fantastic. Until July 2015, when Dean was diagnosed with MND and everything came to a grinding halt.

People diagnosed with MND when aged 65 and over are forced to rely on Aged Care - a support service that does not meet the needs of those with progressing neurological conditions and complex disability needs.

Always remain hopeful, fight and never give up

Throughout his fight he suffered a great deal, which hurt our whole family enormously ... During the pain and the suffering, he never lost his hope, his humour or his cheeky grin!

Joy's MND Story

"Fortunately we had been given the contact details for MND Victoria and were encouraged to contact them as they have been supporting people with MND for over 35 years."

Wolfgang’s journey and what to expect

"My husband dances with me, but not as often as he used too, and he doesn’t like the fast songs. He is dancing with our daughter, and we are happy, but I am a little concerned that he does not move as well as he used to ..."

Barry's MND Story

Having just retired, Barry and Carol were looking forward to spending their retirement together ... but then Barry was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

The blue cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) was adopted by Australian MND Associations as the national symbol of hope for MND, because of its fragile appearance but hardy nature. Like the cornflower, people living with MND show remarkable strength in coping with this devastating disease. Cornflowers boxes are available to sell all year round. Call our office on: 03 9830 2122 or email: fundraising@mnd.asn.au

In December, 2016 one of our longest serving volunteers, Marian, was presented with a Victorian Premier's Volunteer Champions Award in the Impact category. Huge congratulations to Marian! [Photograph by Rani Lutwyche]
