The Firies Climb for MND was created in 2015 by firefighter Matt Pridham after his best friend, Adam Regal, was diagnosed with MND. After learning that there was no known treatment or cure, they became determined to join the fight to find one. Together, they pledged to raise as much money and awareness for MND as possible.

All funds raised go to Prof. Dominic Rowe's Macquarie University Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research. It is the largest MND research centre in Australia, receives no federal or state funding to operate and is completely run through the support of public donations and research grants. All researchers work together in one facility, on one topic, with one vision: a world without MND.

On June 22, 2023, Ron “Hobbo” Hobden’s life changed in a single sentence: You have motor neurone disease. No cure. No treatment. Just a brutal countdown he never saw coming.

A week earlier, the 40-year-old rugby player, devoted husband, and proud dad to Lizzie, 5, and Henry, 3, had been training for a marathon. Fit, strong, and full of plans, he had no reason to imagine his future would be cut short.

“I remember Annie sitting beside me, trying to hold back her tears,” Ron recalls. “All I could think about was our kids. How do you tell them their dad is dying?”

Instead of surrendering to despair, Ron made a decision that day: MND would shape his life, but it would not define it. It might take his body, but it would never take his fight, his love, or his determination to inspire others.

Damian Andrews was 42 years old when he was diagnosed with MND.

Damian says he is going to "ride until he dies"

He and his wife Jane & their 3 boys live in Hervey Bay in QLD.

They are a dynamic family. Living every day the best they possibly can with MND.

They are also absolute champions, raising awareness of MND through their Facebook page which you can join here and throughout the media.
