Jordan’s DIY Big Freeze Unites CommunityMonday, August 4, 2025 - 1:30 PM

The WA football community has shown its generosity by raising more than $93,000 to support those with Motor Neurone Disease.

Jordan’s DIY Big Freeze was staged at Revo Fitness Stadium on Saturday in support of West Australian Jordan Early who was diagnosed with MND earlier this year.

West Coast Eagles greats John Worsfold and Andrew Embley, AFLW Eagles coach and Hall of Famer Daisy Pearce, former tennis champion Alicia Molik and two-time Commonwealth Games gold medal winning Hockeyroo Jade Taylor took the plunge into the icy water before the Sullivan Logistics WAFL match between Claremont and Peel Thunder.

The former athletes helped raise money and awareness for MND sufferers including Jordan, a 42-old West Australian who was diagnosed with the disease earlier this year.

Claremont Chief Executive Darcy Coffee was delighted with the result of the fundraising event.

“Our Big Freeze game at Claremont was a powerful reminder of what footy clubs are all about — community, connection, and standing by each other,” Coffee said.

“The response was overwhelming, even with the weather against us.

“To see Jordan’s fundraising page now pass $93,000 is both humbling and inspiring.

“We’re incredibly proud to have played a small part in that, and we thank everyone who came along and supported such a great cause”
