Thanks to the Pace Members & Staff who came along to the Walk for MND Research yesterday. 63 participants, a couple of babies, and a few dogs enjoyed perfect weather conditions and a good dose of fresh air as we wound our way through the 2.5km course here at Sleeman Sports Complex.
We remembered two very special Pace members, David Keys and Linda Norman. Both faced MND with incredible courage and determination. Although they are no longer with us, they will not be forgotten. Their strength, their spirit, and the impact they had on those around them will always remain with us. Thanks to members of their respective families who came along yesterday.
Associate Professor and Co-Director of the UQ Centre for MND Research, Derik Steyn, gave us an update on the important research being undertaken. Itβs encouraging to hear about the progress being made and to know that the money we raise can contribute to that vital work.
So far, we have raised over $4,000. If you would like to donate, please go to: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/pace-at-sleeman-walk-for-mnd-research
Thanks for Australian Catering Services for providing some refreshments and coffee in the Aquatic Cafe after the event.
