The Power of Choice
By: Neale Daniher

'The past is over. The future isn't promised. But what you do next is your choice for the taking. It's where the change happens. Choose wisely.'

Neale Daniher is in his thirteenth year of living with Motor Neurone Disease. His body is broken and he can no longer speak, but his mind is sharp and his capacity to give, unvanquished.

With the terminal diagnosis came a choice: to retreat into the comfort of home and family, or to look for opportunity in the darkest of times.

Neale - a thinker, a taskmaster, a competitor - chose to fight, not just for his life but for those who will be diagnosed in the future. His tireless work with FightMND has mobilised millions of Australians to help combat the cruel killer he calls The Beast. read more..
