A heartfelt message from our partner Lionheart Camp For Kids 🧡 Today is National Grief Awareness Day. When someone important dies, a grieving parent is often navigating their own loss while also supporting their child through theirs — sitting beside their sadness, making space for their anger, and somehow keeping family life moving. As Lionheart reminds us, there's no perfect way to do it, and you don't need all the answers. Sometimes simply being there, and making space for each other's grief, is enough 👇

Today is National Grief Awareness Day 🧡

When someone important in your family dies, you’re not only navigating your own grief.

You may also be answering your child’s questions. Sitting beside their sadness. Making space for their anger. Reassuring them when they’re worried. Remembering the school lunches, getting everyone where they need to be, and somehow keeping family life moving.

All while missing your Important Person too.

Supporting a grieving child while you are grieving yourself can be incredibly complex. There is no perfect way to do it, and you don’t need to have all the answers.

Sometimes, simply being there and making space for each other’s grief is enough.

At Lionheart, we walk alongside children, teens and their families as they learn to live with grief, together.

This National Grief Awareness Day, let’s keep making space for grief, in all the ways it shows up 🦁🧡

As they put it: the freedom to be yourself shouldn't depend on where you live, who you love or how you identify. It should simply be part of feeling at home 👇

At Racing for MNDi, everything we do is driven by one goal: accelerating research to help find better treatments and, ultimately, a cure for motor neurone disease.
That's why we're looking forward to attending the National MND Conference this September.

Bringing together leading researchers, clinicians, allied health professionals, MND Associations, policymakers and people with lived experience, the conference is where ideas are shared, collaborations are formed and the future of MND research takes shape.

For us, it's an opportunity to listen, learn and strengthen the relationships that help drive meaningful progress. Every conversation, every new insight and every collaboration brings us one step closer to improving the lives of those living with MND.

We're proud to be part of a community that refuses to stop pushing for better outcomes, and we're grateful to be involved in these important discussions as we continue our commitment to funding life-changing MND research.
