LATICRETE Gives Back to A Worthy Cause

LATICRETE QLD Technical Rep Nick Collett with
Scott Sullivan, the founder and MND sufferer.

MND and ME Foundation

The MND and ME foundation recently raised enough money to purchase a new building in Coorparoo, QLD. In the past the sufferers and family’s involved, only had a small fibro shack in Inala for respite, etc.

The new building did not have any disabled bathroom facilities...so Lou Zanchetta from Artistic Tiling donated all his team time and labour! LATICRETE donated all the materials to fix and grout all the tiles!

Further donations also came from: Ace Tiles who donated all the tiles.Caroma donated tap-ware and fixtures etc.

Key Objectives of the MND and ME Foundation

• To assist people living with MND and their families to gain access to health care providers and counselling services and provide funding for these services.
• To promote community awareness of MND and its impact on those living with the disease and their families/friends through public awareness campaigns and fundraising activities.
• To assist in facilitating and funding modifications/adjustments to the residences and/or work areas of people living with the disease.
• To assist in facilitating and funding modifications/adjustments to the motor vehicles of people living with the disease, or supplying alternative means of transport.
• To assist in facilitating and funding an independent means of mobility for people living with the disease, including motorised wheelchairs, walking frames and hoists.
• To provide information about the disease and its effects to people living with the disease, their families and friends.
• To provide opportunities, forums and events whereby people living with the disease, their friends and families can meet with others in similar circumstances to share their feelings, struggles and achievements.
• To foster relationships and connections between the foundation and similar organisations for the benefit of people living with the disease, in particular, the Motor Neuron Disease Association of Queensland (MNDAQ).
• To support research efforts by raising awareness about latest research initiatives and by contributing financially towards the funding of research by organisations like the RBWH Foundation.
