“It became a fitting homage to his former Melbourne coach and now close friend Neale Daniher. Over the past few years, we have all seen and admired the endless work that Neale and his team do for Fight MND in raising awareness about Motor Neurones Disease.”

“Music is a truly powerful thing and we are forever grateful to be able to help out and do our part by raising awareness for Fight MND,” he continues. “We want to help raise awareness and funds for MND, leading people to purchase their Big Freeze 8 Beanies.”
