WINNER OF THE ABIA BIOGRAPHY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020
Neale Daniher sat down to pen a letter to the grandchildren he'd never get to know. And then he kept on writing . . .
In 2013, the AFL legend was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease - a cruel and incurable condition.
Rather than retreat, Neale chose to stare down the disease he called 'The Beast', and in 2014 he co-founded FightMND, a charity that has since invested over $130 million into research and care initiatives.
When All is Said & Done is the story of a man who in his darkest hour chose to make a difference, whose heroism, moral clarity and dignity have come to personify a rare brand of leadership that continues to change lives.
