TAWONGA residents Ken and Kim Edmondson are happy to be at the fundraising stage of the plan they started to work toward over two years ago.
The pair had the idea to get their 1977 Holden HX panel van wrapped and sign written to fundraise.
The donations they raise will contribute to the research into clinical trials and drug development for Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
They have had the HX panel van wrapped in eye-catching yellow emblazoned with sign writing in support for FightMND, a charity funding research into MND treatment.
Their charity name is BUMBLE BEE FOR MND with QR codes on the car so people have the choice of donating while looking at the car.

People can also follow BUMBLE BEE FOR MND on Facebook or Instagram where the link to donate can be found as well.
They are looking forward to fundraising by taking the panel van to as many events as possible, and this also helps people become aware of Motor Neurone Disease because there are a lot of people who don't understand the condition.
They have raised a substantial amount since they started four weeks ago and have attended many events ranging from car meets in East Gippsland, Winton Raceway, Walla Walla Show 'N' Shine and the Falls Creek Ice Plunge.
When they spoke to the Myrtleford Times/Alpine Observer they were attending Baranduda Primary School in support of an ice bucket event to raise money for Fight MND.
The next calendar event will be supporting END MND, who are holding a sausage sizzle at Wodonga Bunnings on July 15 - they are looking forward to seeing as many people as possible.
Ken and Kim thanked their sponsors, including the Mount Beauty Community Bank, sponsors from East Gippsland, and other local businesses for their support.
