Take on the ultimate team relay to change the lives of Australians living with MS! By taking on a 12 or 24 hour challenge, you are not only taking on a tough personal challenge but also helping people living with multiple sclerosis achieve their dreams.
Your fundraising goes directly to the MS Go For Gold Scholarships, awarded to people living with MS to chase a personal dream. In the last 20 years we have funded over 900 MS Go For Gold Scholarships to fulfil the dream of someone living with multiple sclerosis.
The best part? The MS Mega Challenges are fun for everyone! Take part with your friends, family, workplace or sports team, and know you are making a difference to the lives of over 33,000 people living with multiple sclerosis in Australia!
Sign up, set your fundraising goal, and get ready to join us and FIGHT MS!
By taking on the MS Mega Challenge, you are changing lives and helping to give back what MS takes away!

Since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998, 3-time Paralympic Gold Medallist and 9-time Para-Cycling World Champion, Carol Cooke AM PLY has dedicated her working life to raising awareness and funds for MS.
In 2001, Carol founded the MS Mega Challenge program with a 24 Hour Mega Swim at the Fitzroy Pool in Victoria. The program has since expanded to over a dozen events across the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Tasmania and Victoria.
Nothing is impossible if we dare to face our fears and believe in ourselves. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

The events raise money for the MS Go for Gold Scholarship program - scholarships which enable people living with multiple sclerosis to follow a dream - and also fund the Plus Financial Assistance Program and services to directly benefit people living with multiple sclerosis.
