Big Freeze raises $100k

The Geelong Big Freeze DIY has raised almost $100,000 to help fight the best that is Motor Neurone Disease.

The Big Freeze Geelong replicates the MCG Big Freeze, which is inspired by Neale Daniher and is coming up to its 11th year.

Geelong’s version, which began in Drysdale and was held there for the first two years, moved to Geelong last year at Herne Hill Reserve.

This year it was at Anthony Costa Oval before the big Geelong Football League game between St Mary’s and St Joseph’s on Sunday June 1.

Pictured is one of the ‘sliders’ former Geelong premiership star and MND ambassador Zach Tuohy, who is no stranger to ice baths.

So far the Big Freeze Geelong has raised $94,914, but organisers were confident the final amount would be more than $100,000.
