It's Time to Get the Gang Together!
We are excited to welcome back our Walking Warriors to the 2026 Pakenham Walk to Support event this October.
Register today and create a team with your family, friends and colleagues in tow. There are no limits to how big or small teams can be, so spread the word and gather together for an incredible day out, helping support people living with motor neurone disease (MND).
And don't forget that your furry friends are more than welcome to come join the fun!
ALSO... Did somebody say FREEBIES?!
You heard that right! Every participant who registers for this event will receive a free Walk to Support T-Shirt that will be available for pick up upon check in at the event! Don't miss this opportunity to wear your support, as you walk to support!
About the Walk to Support - Pakenham
The track is an easy 1.3km flat walk around the Lakeside Amphitheatre in Pakenham and is wheelchair and pram friendly. Disabled parking is also available on the day for people living with MND.
MND Victoria's community walks take place throughout Victoria and are an easy and fun way to raise awareness and funds. All funds raised enable MND Victoria to deliver the best possible care, support and vital assistive equipment to people living with MND, as well as fund research into cause and cure.
So don't miss this opportunity to get your family, friends and colleagues together to walk with you and help raise funds to support the 660+ Victorians living with MND today!
About MND
MND stands for motor neurone disease. Motor neurones are the nerves that control our body movement.
With MND, something goes wrong with the motor neurones, and the messages from the brain stop getting through. This means the muscles that enable us to move around, speak, breathe and swallow fail to work normally.
As the nerve cells slowly stop working, muscles gradually weaken and waste. No two people experience the exact same speed and pattern of weakness, and therefore each person living with MND should be cared for in a way that best suits their needs.
Without a cure and an average life expectancy of just 27 months, MND Victoria has focused on providing the best possible care and support for Victorians living with motor neurone disease (MND) for the last 45 years.
Get Social
In the lead up to the Walk and on the day, make sure you add these hashtags to your social media posts. This will help to spread the word about your efforts and to help raise vital funds for MND Victoria to continue the work that we do.
