MND Beast Challenge - Launceston

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 FightMND.

There'll also be live auctions, a Spin to Win wheel, a Lucky Door Prize and fundraising activities throughout the evening, giving everyone plenty of opportunities to get involved, have some fun and contribute to a cause that matters.

Tickets are $120 per person, including drinks and canapés, with proceeds from the evening supporting the MND Beast Challenge's fundraising efforts for FightMND.

MND is a devastating disease that affects families and communities across Australia. Through the MND Beast Challenge, Nigel has helped shine a light on the importance of awareness, research and the incredible difference communities can make when they come together.

Launceston marks more than just the finish line. It's an opportunity to celebrate the generosity of everyone who has supported Nigel along the way, recognise the people who have inspired his journey and continue the fight against MND.

Whether you've followed Nigel's journey from the beginning, have been personally touched by MND, or simply want to be part of a special evening for an important cause, we'd love you to join us.
