WA Community's Big Freeze Raises Over $93,000 for Motor Neurone Disease - A True Show of Support!
The West Australian community has once again demonstrated its incredible generosity, rallying behind Jordan's DIY Big Freeze to raise a staggering $93,000 for motor neurone disease (MND). The event, held in Claremont on Saturday, saw a huge turnout and outpouring of support, eclipsing even the anticipated return of AFL star Nat Fyfe.
Jordan’s initiative, a personal and heartfelt response to the devastating impact of MND, captured the hearts of locals. Inspired to make a difference, Jordan organised a community event centred around the iconic ‘Big Freeze’ challenge – a tradition made famous by AFL legend Neale Daniher and the FightMND foundation. Participants bravely shaved their heads to raise awareness and funds for research into this debilitating disease.
The atmosphere in Claremont was electric, with families, friends, and football fans coming together to show their solidarity. The event wasn’t just about fundraising; it was a celebration of community spirit and a powerful demonstration of support for those affected by MND and their families. Local businesses chipped in with donations, and volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure the event ran smoothly.
“We’re absolutely blown away by the support,” said a spokesperson for Jordan's DIY Big Freeze. “To raise over $93,000 is just incredible. It shows how much people care about fighting this disease and finding a cure. Every dollar raised will go directly to FightMND to support research and provide vital assistance to those living with MND and their families.”
While the return of Nat Fyfe to the Claremont Oval was a major drawcard for many, the overwhelming sentiment of the day was focused on Jordan’s cause. The combination of local sporting hero returning and the inspiring effort of a local resident to fight a serious illness created a truly memorable and impactful day for the community.
The success of Jordan's DIY Big Freeze highlights the power of grassroots fundraising and the willingness of Australians to come together to support important causes. It’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a beacon of hope for those battling MND.
