Raising money for MND Research - Ice Bucket Challenge
15 September
Once again staff and students of Damascus College are facing the shock and unpleasantness of the Ice Bucket Challenge as they join the fight to raise money for Motor neurone disease (MND).
MND is an uncommon condition that affects the brain and nerves. It causes weakness that gets worse over time. There's no cure for MND, but with your help and money raised the hope is that their will be one soon.
On Thursday afternoon as the temperatures of Ballarat once again hover in the mid teens, with the chance of rain members of the Damascus staff and VCAL students will be doused in ice and water in the hopes of raising money for this very worthy cause. We know how generous our community is, so we ask that you only donate what you can comfortably give, but if everyone who can, does, then the hope is to reach a goal of $3,000.
Word of the amazing effort has reached Neale Daniher himself who replied as seen below
