Climbing Sydney Tower for MND
MND is a fatal neurological disease which typically strikes young, fit, healthy people seemingly at random.
Firies for motor neurone disease research
When NSW firefighter Matt Pridham’s best mate Adam Regal was diagnosed with MND in 2013 at age 32, the news could not have been more devastating.
Willing to stand up and take action, Matt approached Macquarie University with an idea to raise $50,000 to support the Macquarie University Centre for Motor Neuron Disease Research. His idea — to invite firefighters to climb Sydney Tower Eye in their full 20kg firefighting uniform.
In the last five years, Firies Climb for MND has raised more than $3 million, enabling the MND research centre to progress its research by leaps and bounds.
