Rest in Peace, Neale Daniher AO
Today, we honour the life of Neale Daniher — a remarkable Australian who faced MND with extraordinary courage, grace and love.
It has been a true privilege to care for Neale over the past four years, and to walk alongside him, Jan, and their children Lauren, Luke, Bec and Ben during that time.
The Daniher family’s strength, generosity and unwavering commitment have touched so many lives. Through their advocacy, they have helped raise national awareness of MND and inspired a movement that has funded vital research and support for others facing this devastating disease.
Being part of Neale’s journey has been a profound reminder of why our work matters so deeply. It was a privilege to support Neale and his family during this time. This photo, taken by Jan just weeks before Neale’s passing, captures a special moment with our specialist palliative care nurse, Kirsty. Neale touched the hearts of so many across our team, and it was an honour to care for him.
Neale and Jan had so generously agreed to share their story as part of our tax appeal, so that others living with life-limiting illness might also experience the comfort, dignity and support of living well at home — as Neale did. In the midst of this profound loss, Jan has expressed her wish for the appeal to continue, and we are incredibly grateful for her support and generosity.
Our hearts are with Jan, Lauren, Luke, Bec and Ben, all who loved Neale.
Rest peacefully, Neale.
