Fight MND's Bec Daniher said MND has touched many people in the region and the Daniher’s Drive was about raising awareness and money to help find an effective treatment and cure. 

“We hope to spread the word out more to rally the community around those people and families affected by the disease,” she said.

The convoy will arrive in Stawell at about 3.30pm  for its “own version of the Stawell Gift” on Main Street before leaving for Horsham, Nhill and Apsley.

Members of the Daniher family, including Neale and current Essendon star Joe will be part of the convoy along with former AFL footballers including David Neitz, Brad Green and Russel Robertson.

“We would love to see the whole town embrace the occasion,” Stawell business owner Ian Pappin said.

Mr Pappin and his wife Denise have been one of many people in Stawell helping to organise the event.

“There will be donation tins around as well as raffles on offer so it would be great for people to give generously to a great cause,” he said. 

Ms Daniher said the fundraiser reached new towns each year to help spread the word about MND.
