Why We Swim – For Kaitlyn, Co Captain Of Sapes Swimmers

This year’s MS Mega Swim means more to us than ever.
My daughter, Kaitlyn, is living with multiple sclerosis. She’s strong, resilient, and faces this condition with courage
every day—but MS doesn’t fight fair. Just this week, we learned Kaitlyn has a new small lesion on her brain. It’s
small, but it means going back on tough treatment that knocks her around.
That’s the reality of MS: it doesn’t stop. But neither do we.
That’s why we’ve formed Team Sape’s Swimmers—to raise funds for vital MS research, treatment programs, and
support services that people like Kaitlyn rely on. Every dollar helps provide hope and a future where MS is no
longer a life sentence.
If you can, please donate or share our page. Do it for Kaitlyn. Do it for the thousands of Australians living with MS
right now.
Together, we can make a difference.
Cheers Dave

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.
