Calling all Wellingtonian quiz queens and kings

Relax with a craft beer at a quiz night in the Sprig and Fern Thorndon during November and you’ll be raising funds to make time count for people living with motor neurone disease (MND).

Tuesday nights are pub quiz nights at the Sprig and Fern Thorndon. The good folk there have been running quizzes for more than ten years, raising funds for a range of charities.

This month, they are generously fundraising for MND NZ. This support helps us help people affected by MND to make the most of the time they have by providing personal support, advocating for better care, educating others, and backing vital research.

MND is a rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. There are currently very few treatment options available, and no cure. The average life expectancy is two to three years after diagnosis.

If quiz queen is not your gig, you can still help make time count for people living with MND by volunteering for a couple of hours at the events. The Sprig and Fern team could use some support selling raffle tickets and scoring quizzes – they promise it’s a fun-filled role!
