Former Greater Western Sydney Giants player hosts FootyKids clinic to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease

Staff ReporterWestern Suburbs Weekly

The former Greater Western Sydney Giants player will run a fun day and football clinic as part of his coaching program FootyKids to help raise money for research and awareness of the incurable disease.

Mr Bull said the event was his way of recognising the courage of an AFL legend and his family.

‘One of our good friends, Ben Daniher his dad is famously Neal Daniher the footballer ” he got diagnosed pretty publicly a while back,’ Mr Bull said.

‘I sort of watched the way his family dealt with something that is pretty difficult and I took a lot of inspiration from the fact they were so strong and pretty resilient despite what was going on.’
