I completely missed this one when I was interstate last week for work. Great work fundraising Finn! We are all very proud of your efforts. backdating this post to the date the article was released.
We are incredibly grateful to the Pakenham Gazette for recently sharing Shane’s story and helping shine a light on the devastating impact of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) on families and communities.
The article not only honours Shane’s journey, but also highlights the incredible efforts of grandson Finn Cadman, whose passion, advocacy and fundraising continue to make a real difference in the fight against MND. Seeing Shane’s story continue to raise awareness after his passing means a great deal to our family.
MND does not just affect the person diagnosed. It impacts entire families, carers, friends and communities. Through Shane’s journey, we experienced firsthand the many challenges people face navigating healthcare, aged care, disability support and regional services while dealing with a terminal illness.
While Shane sadly lost his battle with MND in April 2026, our hope for better treatments, improved support systems and ultimately a cure remains as strong as ever.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support MND awareness, advocacy, fundraising and research in Shane’s memory.
