Never did we think we would need to set up an appeal like this one, but the truth is that Motor Neurone Disease SA is reliant upon fundraising to survive and is set to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars this year due to COVID-19 and may be facing an unprecedented financial crisis.
 
Much of our income relies on events and, as directed by the government, we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel/postpone many of our events, including the annual Walk to D’Feet, MND Quiz Night, MNDSA Glitz & Glamour Gala Dinner and Skydive for Dollars. Our supporters are also unable to hold their community fundraising events to support us.  In total we believe the revenue lost from these events alone will exceed $250,000.
 
We need this money now to be able to support local people living with Motor Neurone Disease, who rely on our help.  They are isolated and frightened and we need to keep them safe in their homes.

People living with MND are more susceptible to COVID-19 and we need to continue to be their first port of call, provide equipment and keep them connected with our community.
 
We understand that this is a confusing and difficult time for many but urge you to support us if you are able.

We thank you so very much for any help you can give at this difficult time, whilst MNDSA remain focused on ensuring our community get the best possible supports.

Our need is great.  For some living with MND time is short and precious....
