Crucial funds helping to fight Motor Neurone Disease were raised at this year’s Unite Against MND Ball that saw the Perth Convention Centre transformed into an enchanted garden.

Guests gathered in the candlelit ballroom to support the fight against MND, a disease that claims the lives of two Australians every day, while two others are newly diagnosed.

The event featured live aerialists, roaming performances, exquisite dining, and powerful speeches.

The evening raised vital funds, enabling the MND Association of WA to continue providing person-centred support, guidance, and education programs for healthcare professionals, carers, and those affected by MND.

Keynote speaker Professor Merrilee Needham emphasised the significance of the event, saying: “We are not here just to raise funds, but to raise hope.”

Funds raised throughout the night directly supported MND WA’s critical services.
