Manage episode 463173440 series 2343137
An AFL legend fighting motor neurone disease, who has spent more than a decade fundraising to find a cure for the condition, has been named the 2025 Australian of the Year.
Former Essendon champion and Melbourne coach Neale Daniher, AO, has been battling the effects of MND – a condition which progressively damages nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord responsible for controlling muscles since 2013.
Following his diagnosis, Daniher co-founded FightMND, a charity that has raised and invested more than $100 million for medical research to find a cure for the disease.
Luke Grant chats with his daughter, Bec Daniher to find out what the award means for Neale and his family, and how close we are for finding a cure for MND.
