MND awareness
Blue Cornflower Day
Blue Cornflower Day is an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for the hundreds of Victorians impacted by MND.
The blue cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) is the symbol of hope for MND around the world because of its fragile appearance but hardy nature. Like the cornflower, people living with MND show remarkable strength in coping with this devastating disease.
This year's Blue Cornflower Day will be on Saturday 20 June 2026. It is the perfect time to hold a blue themed event or sell MND merchandise.
MND Victoria has a number of educational resources and merchandise available to help your Blue Cornflower Day event be educational and fun. Please contact us by calling 03 9830 2122 or emailing community@mnd.org.au to discuss your event or to order merchandise.
MND Global Day
June 21 every year is MND/ALS Global Awareness Day. MND/ALS Associations across the world use the day to raise awareness of the disease to the general public.
The day is also used to express hope that one day there will be a turning point in the search for cause, treatment and cure of this disease.
Increasingly, the international MND/ALS community is seeking ways to work together to try to capture the attention of the public media to increase their reach.

March of Faces Banners
The March of Faces Banners is a photographic display of men and women with motor neurone disease. The world project was initiated in July 1997 as an advocacy and awareness tool. In 2001, the March of Faces banner project was introduced to Australia by Jackie Williams, an MND Association member.
The MND Victoria March of Faces banners are displayed at various MND awareness raising and remembrance events throughout the year.
