Our Motivation

This cause is obviously very close to our hearts, Lorrayne’s Dad, Richard was diagnosed with Motor Neurones Disease in May 2019. Within a short few months he lost use of his right arm and was experiencing falls.

This was a heartbreaking and hopeless disease for our family as Richard was only 67. After a life time of working really hard and providing for his family he finally began to consider retirement to enjoy life, this was taken from him.

We know from this experience that in the first month it cost around $4,000. This money was just for the tests and travel he needed to go to specialists.

Richard had an amazing attitude and believed that with adversity comes opportunity, and we have decided that our opportunity is to make the life of patients a little easier by doing what we love and raising much needed funds and awareness to help find a cause and a cure to prevent another person and family from suffering.

Richard tragically lost his fight with MND on 27th January 2020.
