Bec Daniher: Why Action Speaks Loudest — $115M and Counting

In this powerful episode of Empowering Leaders, Luke sits down with Bec Daniher, Executive Director of Fight MND and daughter of AFL legend Neale Daniher. Recorded and released just days ahead of Big Freeze 11 on June 9, this conversation explores Bec’s personal and professional journey as she leads the fight against one of the world’s most brutal diseases — motor neurone disease (MND, better known in the USA as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease).

Bec reflects on the emotional toll of her father's ongoing battle with MND since 2013, and champions his enduring message: action over words. With over $115 million raised to date, Fight MND continues to drive vital research and awareness. Bec shares how humor, community, and collaboration fuel their mission and why she believes true leadership is about creating a better future for others.
