I'M TAKING THE CHALLENGE TO FIGHT MS!

Hi friends, colleagues, and family.  I’m doing the mega swim again.  This time the swim is going to challenge me a bit.  I haven’t been swimming !!! oh oh ~~~!!!

As most know I first signed up for the swim back in 2017,  one month before I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.    The funding of the swim goes for those Living with MS and assisting them with keeping employed,

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.
