106 Heroes signed up to help our national exercise service NeuroMoves and smashed our original target of $50,000 within the first week! We raised the target to $65,000, and our Heroes swooped in and smashed that target too!

We're on the verge of $80,000, and we want to thank and acknowledge all of our participants, donors and our NeuroMoves teams for making this happen.

Participants from across Australia harnessed their unique superhero abilities to walk, wheel, box, lift, crawl and ski their way through September.

Check out some of our Heroes from this year's campaign.
