The Big Freeze 5

This is not anything to do with weather but is a fund raiser for Mnd or motor nerone disease.

One of AFL footballer was diagnosed in 2013 and by his own admission felt sorry for himself for a couple of months then decided to turn it around. With his family and the assistance of the afl, the big freeze was started.

The first year people were asked and for the privilege of being pushed down a slide and into a large ice bath in front of thousands plus paying $10,000 each to the cause.

Last year all the team coaches went down the slide, they also dress up.

This year again it was by invitation and quite well known sports people, most of them, now retired.

Freddy Mercury made an appearance.

Nick (Freddy) is blonde and built, he retired two years ago. He was so good that we didnt know who Freddy was at first.

Beanies are sold as well and each year they have increased the orders, again they sold out 300,000 at $20 each.
