Vale Neale Daniher.
An AFL legend, but even more than that, an extraordinary human being whose courage, dignity, and determination inspired an entire nation.
Neale’s tireless advocacy and fight against MND brought hope, awareness, and compassion to so many Australians. His strength in the face of unimaginable challenges showed us all what true resilience looks like.
A remarkable legacy that will never be forgotten.
Thinking of the Daniher family and all whose lives he touched.
