❄️ Big Freeze 12 - done and dusted.

Last week, St Michael's got behind the Fight MND Big Freeze campaign in the best possible way. Mike, Kevin and Meg all took their seats outside the Merrington Centre and promptly received the ice bucket treatment from some very enthusiastic volunteers!

All three were outstanding sports about it. The reactions said it all.
Big Freeze is a national campaign raising awareness and funds for Motor Neurone Disease Australia, and we're proud to have played our small part in building its awareness again this year.

A huge thank you to our 'freezers' Mike, Kevin and Meg for taking the plunge, and to everyone who came out to cheer them on.

Who should we shower next year?!

Geoffrey and Julieanne have both been doing great work in their own units lately.

With support from their St Michael's team, both have been building confidence in the kitchen and keeping on top of the day-to-day routines that make a home run smoothly. Cooking, cleaning, and the small but satisfying rhythm of independent living - they're making the kind of progress worth sharing.

Michael has been a passionate supporter of the Scottsdale Football Club for over 50 years - and this season he's once again making the most of it.

With support from his team, Michael has been getting along to games regularly throughout the year, cheering on his club and catching up with familiar faces in the community he's been part of for decades. For Michael, match day is about more than the football, it's a chance to connect with people he knows and be part of something he genuinely loves.

Alongside the footy, Michael has also been putting in the work at the gym, attending regularly with his support workers and showing real commitment to his health and fitness. Good stuff!
