The 2-For-2 Fund

Everyday in Australia 2 people are diagnosed with MND and 2 people die because of MND…

Join Today

The 2-for-2 Fund concept reflects the revolving door that currently exists for MND in this country. For every 2 people diagnosed with MND each day, another 2 die because of MND. By committing to donate $242 per year (or “2-for-2”) donated as $20.15c each month you can help close the door.

This regular giving campaign provides a way for you to commit to a direct investment into the lives of MND patients and their families. For a donation of only $20.15c each month (the price of 1 cup of coffee per week each month), you will enable MND patients to find support and hope through helping fund vital MND research, clinical trials, and the provision of assistive equipment.
