MND Beast Challenge - Launceston

About

On Saturday 5 December 2026, the Launceston community is coming together for a very special evening to celebrate the incredible journey of Nigel Howard and the MND Beast Challenge, while raising much-needed funds and awareness for FightMND.

After travelling thousands of kilometres across Australia by motorbike, meeting communities, sharing stories and raising awareness for Motor Neurone Disease (MND), Nigel will complete his lap of Australia in Launceston, marking the finish line of an extraordinary challenge.

What began as one man's determination to make a difference has become a journey of generosity, community spirit and a shared commitment to fighting MND.

Now, as Nigel reaches the end of his journey, we're inviting the Launceston community to come together and help make this final event an unforgettable celebration of fundraising, friendship and community.

Join us for a special evening of drinks and canapés, inspiring stories, entertainment and fundraising, as we celebrate the kilometres travelled, the people met along the way and the incredible support shown throughout the MND Beast Challenge.

What's happening on the night?

This special evening will bring together supporters, local businesses, friends and community members for one final opportunity to get behind Nigel and the fight against MND.

We'll hear from guest speakers Nigel Howard, Chris Symonds, Andy Phipps and Ronnie Leigh, sharing stories, experiences and reflections on the challenge and the importance of supporting…
