When a Community Comes Together, Magic Happens
This year’s event also showcased the extraordinary stories behind the swimmers — from long‑standing teams who return year after year, to individuals swimming in honour of loved ones, to participants living with MS who dove in with courage and determination. The vibe was uplifting from start to finish with music pumping, costumes shining, volunteers cheering, and teams celebrating every lap. It was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community comes together with purpose!

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.
MS Plus acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners and true sovereigns of the land now known as Yarra. We also acknowledge the significant contributions made by other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to life in Yarra. We pay our respects to Elders from all nations here today—and to their Elders past, present and future.
