Help My Mum Fight MND – A Lifetime of Giving, Now She Needs Our Help

This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to write.

My beautiful mum has recently been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) – a cruel and progressive illness that slowly robs a person of their ability to move, speak, eat, and eventually, breathe.
There is no cure. No way to reverse it. And really no sugar coating it.

Just time—and the hope that we can make each moment more manageable, more comfortable, and more filled with love.

My mum has spent her entire life giving to others. Through her work in natural health, she helped countless people improve their wellbeing, always going above and beyond to make sure her clients felt truly cared for. She gave people hope and healing when they needed it most.

Outside of her clinic, she volunteered for years running a local karate dojo for kids. It wasn’t just about teaching them martial arts—it was about building confidence, discipline, community, and kindness.

Now, the woman who spent her life lifting others up is the one who needs help.

MND has taken away her ability to work, eat, and speak and with it, her financial independence.

She's facing enormous challenges daily—physically, emotionally, and financially.

It's devastating to watch someone so strong, so generous, and so selfless slowly lose the ability to do the simplest things. But we are not giving up. We are fighting for every bit of quality of life she can have.

We are humbly asking for your help— even if you can only give a $1 donation and a share of this post, with the numbers this will make a huge difference and both mum and I will be forever grateful.

Every little bit goes a long way. If my mum has ever helped you, inspired you, or even just made you smile, or maybe you never met her but would just like to help, please consider helping her now in her time of need.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey with us.

It is with great sadness we are announcing that Sensei Kathy and Sempai Kaitlyn the Founders of Murasaki Kyokushin Karate Dojo will be leaving us at the end of the year 🖤✨.

Training will continue until we close for Christmas as usual 🎄💨

We have had some of the highest highs and the lowest lows in the 6 years of running Murasaki Dojo. From starting out in the old cycling hall, to hiring a room in a dance studio to having a home of our own down the main street of Mount Gambier.

We’ve survived having to go online and make videos to train through 2020 with our Ninja Turtle Mascot and having gradings and tournaments all cancelled. 🐢💥

To having great events like summer camps, Kata competitions, and even movie nights! 🎥🍿

We’ve seen kids 3 years old up to adults 60+ years old come through our doors to train with us and we really could not have done this without our students and their families, an extra thank you to those students and their families that have been with us since the cycling club or dance studio days 💜👊🏼

It was a dream of ours to bring Kyokushin Karate to Mount Gambier in a Safe, Kind, and Caring Environment that also didn’t purely focus on Sparring so it was more accessible to everyone and well…. I think we achieved it 😆

On a positive note the batten of Kyokushin in Mount Gambier will be passed over to Sensei Macca who also runs the Millicent and Allendale Kyokushin Dojos so you will be in great hands and your Kyokushin Journey will continue on without Murasaki.

A big thank you to everyone who has supported the Dojo especially all our Class Helpers over the time, as well as our social media community (we have big plans for our insta in 2024), and of course Kathy’s Mum and Dad for being the mysterious dojo cleaning fairies 🧚‍♀️ 🧼✨

While it’s always sad to say goodbye, especially when it has been such a huge part of our lives (5- 15 hours per week, give or take, for the last 6 years it was essentially our second job minus income 🤣) but our journey with Murasaki finishes here and we’re excited to see what the future holds.

Thank you and OSU 🥋🖤👊🏽✨
