When All is Said & Done Neale Daniher sat down to pen a letter to the grandchildren he'll 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 disease. He knew he had a choice. He could spend his remaining time on earth focussed on himself, or he could seize the opportunity to make a better future for others. Neale is no stranger to challenge. He grew up on a farm in remote NSW, the third of eleven children. He battled injury during his football career with Essendon in the VFL/ AFL, then jumped on the coaching rollercoaster, leading Melbourne for a decade. As general manager of football operations, he was part of West Coast Eagles' cultural rebuild. From the hard-won wisdom of life on the land and the love of his family, to the triumphs and gutting lows of elite football, Neale has learnt to make the most of the cards he's been dealt - to always live with purpose and to appreciate what he has. True to form, Neale chose to stare down the disease he calls 'The Beast', and in 2014 he co-founded FightMND, an organisation that has since invested over $50 million into research and care initiatives. In 2015, he became the public face of the foundation's biggest fundraising event, The Big Freeze. When All is Said & Done is a book of stories and wisdom from a man who has always held his beliefs to the Bunsen burner of life.
