It's taken now his ability to walk and it does that.

But the fact that he's still here and he's still fighting is absolutely remarkable.

It is.

And I think it comes in all different forms, I think.

There are those that have been impacted by MND that say this day is their day, and so they should.

And then you've got others that are facing other adversity or, you know, having other life tests, like life testing them, and they see the resilience that dads show.

And I guess it's just about that fighting spirit, that regardless of what you face, you have always got the opportunity to choose your attitude, to choose how you show up, and that's what dad's done from day one.

And to be at the MCD on that day and you look around and there's a crowd of 90,000 people and you don't see the Collingwood colours, you don't see the Melbourne colours, you see this blue, this sea of blue and it's just people care and they want to make, they want to help, they want to make a difference, they want to see the future change, even if it's not for them.

And I think that's truly inspiring and it just shows us that we're not alone.

So the money goes directly to the labs and the researchers here in Australia, but also internationally.

We need to find this answer as quickly as possible.

There's no treatment.

There's no cure for MND.

We don't know why people are getting it, so 90% of the cases.

So this is just for us to be able to continue to unlock the answers.

We want to be in a world one day where, you know, it might be a dad or a mum or a family member sitting down there, their loved ones, to say, I've got M&A, don't worry.

Here is what we're going to do.

It's treatable, it's curable.

And that day is coming closer and closer, and it's thanks to the generosity of Australians that...

buy a beanie, buy a pair of socks, donate, just show up on the day, just talk about M&D.
