MSWA is deeply saddened to hear of Neale Daniher's passing.

Neale's courageous fight and tireless advocacy against motor neurone disease was truly inspiring. Through years of dedication to fundraising and research, he became a leading force in Australia’s search for a cure. Our thoughts and sympathies are with Neale’s family and the wider MND community during this time💙

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Neale Daniher AO.

Neale was a true MND warrior — courageous, determined and relentless in his fight against this devastating disease. Over 10 years ago he co-founded what would become FightMND, creating a movement that has invested over $117 million in MND research. His vision and tireless efforts have accelerated progress towards a cure and given hope to thousands of families affected by MND.

Through his advocacy, leadership and unshakable spirit, Neale brought MND into the national conversation, ensuring many more Australians understand its impact. His extraordinary legacy was fittingly recognised when he was named the 2025 Australian of the Year.

On behalf of MND Australia, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Neale’s family, friends, and the entire FightMND community. His passing is a profound loss, not only for those who knew him personally, but for every Australian whose life has been touched by MND.

Vale Neale — Australia has lost a hero.
