Hammerheads 23

2023 Fitzroy MS Mega Swim

MS Megaswim is creeping up on us. Happy fundraising xx

Hammerheads23 - can't wait to see you.

This weekend has crept up and the MS 24hr Megaswim starts tomorrow.
I hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am.
See you there fellow swimmers.

Just under three weeks to go, champions!

Hi Team.


Great to see your names signed up for the 2023 MS Megaswim. The Hammerhead23 team is shaping up to be fantastic as always.

While swimming is the fun part of this event, for me the most important aspect is fundraising for people living with MS. The the Hammerheads have been the biggest fundraisers for three years in a row and I’d love to see another impressive team effort.

We have just under 3 weeks to pull out our best fundraising tactics. Good luck xxx


WE'RE TAKING THE CHALLENGE TO FIGHT MS!

Aside from looking forward to joining others in the fun and atmosphere on the day, we are taking part to raise funds to support people living with multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis affects more young people than any other chronic neurological condition and average age of diagnosis is 30. It can strike anyone at any time and the symptoms vary so widely.

For instance, can you imagine waking up one day unable to do the everyday things you would usually take for granted? Like not being able to see properly (or at all), you physically can’t get out of bed, can’t walk to the phone to call someone – anyone – or live a life without pain?

All of a sudden your world has changed.

By being part of this event, and because of your generous sponsorship, the funds we raise will allow people living with multiple sclerosis to access vital MS Plus Support Services. Services such as MS Plus Peer Support Groups, connecting people who are newly diagnosed with those who have lived with multiple sclerosis for a number of years, or the Plus Employment Support Service keeping Aussies living with multiple sclerosis in the work force.

Thank you again for your support.

Thank you to our Sponsors
