Great to have Nigel Howard drop into Merrett Logging today as part of his incredible MND Beast Challenge. 🏍️💙

Nigel set off on 20 August on a 20,000+ km motorbike journey around Australia, raising awareness and vital funds for Motor Neurone Disease research. The challenge was inspired by his mate and long-time mentor Colin, who was diagnosed with MND.

It was great to catch up, hear a bit about the journey and see “The Beast” in person. We wish Nigel all the best for the kilometres still ahead!

Every dollar raised through the challenge goes directly to FightMND, helping fund research and the search for effective treatments and ultimately a cure.

Safe travels, Nigel — an incredible effort for a great cause! 👏🏍️
