My Awesome Australian: Online exhibition

Neale Daniher by Lara (8-11 years, VIC)

Drawing
Neale Daniher
I chose Neale Daniher because he fundraised for motor neurone disease (MND) and is currently suffering from it himself. He is a part of the fight MND freeze beanie initiative that we wear. All the money from the beanies is donated to fight MND foundation for people suffering with MND. He was also a footy player for Essendon.
