RUN 4 ROSSY

Run4Rossy started as an idea to try and help a mate who had just been given the life shattering news of an MND diagnosis. Chris “Rossy” Ross was 31 at the time and his friends Josh and Josh put their heads together to create an event to help raise funds for Rossy and his family.

What started as an effort to help an individual has now turned into a far-reaching cause to raise awareness and funds for the wider MND community.

We lost our Chris to MND on 23rd August 2023. But his journey to Beat the Beast isn’t over. Chris left us with an important legacy and the Run4Rossy team are committed and proud to continue to fight for him.

Chris was determined we continue to raise funds for MND research and patient support. He had the dream to raise over one million dollars for MND research – so we still have work to do!

He was always so grateful for the support of our community, without you this would not be possible. So a huge thank you to our supporters. Because of you, Chris's legacy will live on.
