2026 Sydney MS Mega Swim

I'M TAKING THE CHALLENGE TO FIGHT MS!

Aside from looking forward to joining others in the fun and atmosphere on the day, I’m 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.

Amazing people!

Sunday 30th Aug
My first time doing the MegaSwim. A swimmer in my ocean swim group posted asking for people to join- she goes swimming every Saturday in Bondi beach in all aorts of weather and ocean conditions- you would never know she’s battling a silent debitating condition. I have another friend who discovered 2 years ago that he too has MS- the most active, adventurous guy- had just had his second baby. It seems like a small thing but i wanted to do whatever I could to help raise awareness and funds to find a cure or even to improve the life of these amazing people. Swam 4K in 1.5hrs- my left shoulder was getting really heavy, but seeing the teams next to me with people that werent even good swimmers but were having a go, made me keep going. Thinking of L and AP and hoping these dont need to exist bc the cure is around the corner x
