“Please help us beat the beast that is MND/ALS” urges Ty Warner, Founder, CEO and Chairman of Ty Inc, upon releasing a new Beanie Boo specifically to raise funds for FightMND.

Ty, Australia’s No. 1 plush brand, has created the Tony Penguin Beanie Boo to help raise awareness and funds for FightMND. Buying this Beanie Boo means you are supporting FightMND.

100% of profits from original sales of the Tony Penguin Beanie Boo will go toFightMND to support the battle against MND/ALS worldwide.

The average life expectancy of a person diagnosed with MND/ALS is only 27 months. There is currently no effective treatment or cure.

“Hopefully, this special Beanie Boo, named after my great friend and Australian distributor Tony, will bring awareness around the world to this horrible disease, and bring us closer to beating the beast that is MND/ALS,” Mr Warner said.

A philanthropist, Mr Warner has donated more than $300 million to a variety of charities worldwide including the American Red Cross, UNICEF, United Way Worldwide, Ronald McDonald House, to WIRES following the devastating bushfires in Australia in 2020, and many more.

The Tony Penguin Beanie Boo is available early March 2022 at newsXpress, Toyworld, Coles, and other great retailers for SRP $9.99.
