Winter Is Here: Werribee Takes On the Big Freeze Ice Bucket Challenge

Winter arrived in spectacular fashion at Werribee Football Club as CEO Mark Penaluna, Kyle Hartigan, Rani Pavlidis and 1992 Best and Fairest winner Michael McMaster stepped up to take on the Ice Bucket Challenge in support of FightMND.

With Big Freeze 12 bringing communities across Australia together, the challenge served as a fun and powerful reminder of the ongoing fight against Motor Neurone Disease (MND). While the icy water delivered plenty of laughs, the message behind the challenge remained an important one.

FightMND continues to raise awareness and fund vital research in the search for effective treatments and ultimately a cure for MND. Events like the Big Freeze have become a significant part of Australia's sporting landscape, inspiring clubs, communities and individuals to get involved and support the cause.

MT Visuals was proud to capture the challenge and help share the club's support for FightMND. From the anticipation before the bucket was tipped to the reactions that followed, it was a great example of a community coming together for something bigger than football.

A big congratulations to everyone who took part and helped keep the conversation around FightMND moving forward.

Capturing a Legacy Bigger Than Football

Some projects are about creating content. Others are about preserving stories that matter.

Ahead of Werribee Football Club's FightMND fundraiser match, I had the opportunity to produce a video centred around the impact of Neale Daniher and the legacy he leaves behind.

As the football community came together for Big Freeze 12, the first without Neale physically present, the club reflected on his connection to Werribee and the extraordinary influence he had on the fight against Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

The video featured former Werribee coach Leon Harris speaking to the playing group at training, sharing memories of Neale's time at the club and reminding everyone why the fight against MND continues.

Working on this project was a reminder that sport is about much more than results on a scoreboard. It's about community, leadership, resilience and using a platform to make a difference.

Werribee proudly wore the Big Freeze 12 socks during the fundraiser match, helping raise awareness and support for FightMND's ongoing mission to find a cure.

It's projects like these that make storytelling so powerful. A camera can capture moments, but it can also help carry a message, honour a legacy and inspire action.

Thank you to Werribee Football Club for trusting MT Visuals to help tell an important story.
