Hi everyone,

My name is Billy Whiston, and I’m embarking on a life-changing challenge to walk 14,418 km around Australia while pushing a wheelchair. This journey is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for four amazing charities:

• FightMND

• MND Australia

• MND Association

• My Name’5 Doddie Foundation

The walk will begin on February 17, 2025, and is set to last for 1 year, covering an average of 24.7 miles per day. It’s a massive physical and logistical undertaking, but I’m fully committed to making a difference for those affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

This GoFundMe is designed to help cover the essential costs of the journey, including:

• Purchasing a reliable campervan (my primary accommodation and support vehicle).

• Fuel, food, and other on-the-road essentials.

• Equipment needed for the walk.

• Other logistical expenses as I prepare and execute this massive challenge.

Please Note: This GoFundMe is NOT for donations directly to the charities. 100% of the money raised here will go toward ensuring I can complete this walk successfully and bring as much attention as possible to the cause.

Any funds donated through this page that are not used by the end of the challenge will be evenly split between the four charities listed above.

For those looking to donate directly to the charities you can find the donation pages on: https://linktr.ee/whistysworld

Any contribution, no matter how small, will help me bring this vision to life. Thank you so much for your generosity, support, and belief in this mission.

Let’s make a real impact together!

Best regards,

Billy
