Are you passionate about writing and storytelling?

Our Legacy Program (formally known as Life Stories) volunteer biographers use their writing skills and creativity to make a meaningful impact in someone's life, helping Queenslanders living with Motor Neurone Disease capture and share their personal legacy.

Whether it's a memoir, poetry, cherished recipes, or a family tree, you'll work closely with individuals to document their life, values, and memories in a form that's meaningful to them. MND is a progressive, life-limiting condition, and for many, storytelling offers comfort and a sense of purpose during a difficult time.

Follow the link below to express your interest today and play a vital role in preserving someone’s words, wisdom, and spirit - creating a lasting gift for their loved ones and helping ensure their story lives on.
