Former AFL great Neale Daniher took the fight for a cure for Motor Neurone Disease to the bush last week before finishing in Deer Park on Sunday.
Mr Daniher – who has been the face of the Fight MND campaign for the past three years – launched the third Daniher’s Drive on Thursday from Essendon Airport.
Up to 100 cars took part in this year’s fundraising car rally which stopped in Wagga Wagga, Echuca and Ballarat, before ending at the Deer Park Club on Sunday morning.
The final fundraising tally for the event this year was $2.1 million, bringing the total raised by Daniher’s Drive to $4.6 in three years.
Mr Daniher said the chance to take the message of Fight MND to the bush was invaluable.
“We love going out into the country and rural areas to connect with our supporters and spread awareness,” he said.
This year’s drive involved more than 350 participants, including former AFL players David Neitz, Russell Robertson and Paul Vander Haar.
