RRT Supports Daniher’s Drive in the Fight Against Motor Neurone Disease

Rapid Relief Team (RRT) volunteers supported FightMND’s Daniher’s Drive, helping raise awareness and funds for motor neurone disease (MND) research and care by providing meals and refreshments before participants hit the road.

Celebrating its 10th year, Daniher’s Drive travelled to South Australia for the first time. RRT’s Adelaide team served more than 300 meals to participants and attendees at the starting line, as a convoy of more than 200 drivers prepared for the four-day road trip.

The journey took participants through Adelaide and surrounding regions, including the Adelaide Hills and Barossa, helping raise awareness and funds for MND research and care.

Nine RRT volunteers served burgers and drinks to the crowd at Adelaide Oval, supporting participants as they prepared to embark on the drive.

Adelaide Local Team Leader Matt Gooden said supporting the vital work of organisations like FightMND was an important part of RRT’s commitment to communities across Australia.

“MND is a complex disease with no known cause, so supporting FightMND’s work to find effective treatments is important to the whole community. Our volunteers were pleased to provide meals and refreshments to the Daniher’s Drive convoy as they started their four-day mission to raise awareness and funds,” Mr Gooden said.

“We are grateful to support the wonderful efforts of each participant and recognise their enormous effort in contributing to vital MND research and projects.”

Through its catering support, RRT helped participants and organisers come together ahead of the journey, contributing to an event dedicated to advancing research and support for people affected by MND.
