2026 MS Gong Ride

Fundraising Rank: 9 / 5,525

I'M RIDING 80KM THIS OCTOBER
THE DISTANCE FROM
Sydney TO WOLLONGONG

I'm taking the Challenge to fight MS!

On November 1st, I am taking part in the 2026 MS Gong Ride!
This year is extra special as the MS Gong Ride celebrates 45 years of riders coming together to support people living with MS and other neurological conditions. I can't wait to be part of this incredible legacy
Why am I fundraising?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and often debilitating disease which attacks the central nervous system. It is the most common neurological disease in young adults and often attacks people in the prime of their lives. Cases of MS are rising and over 37,700 Australians live with the condition.
Your support will help people with multiple sclerosis receive the vital support, treatments, and services to help them live well at home, remain connected to work, and be part of the community, becuase no one should face MS alone.
Thank you again for your support!

Please supoort my ride for MS

Thursday 15th Oct
Earlier this year, shortly after Nads & I got married, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Not quite the honeymoon period planned, but we’re learning to navigate one step at a time.

On the 1 November, I’m riding 80km to support MS Plus. Ironically, I’ve taken part in the MS Gong Ride several times before, never imagining that one day I’d be riding with a personal connection to the cause.

Since my diagnosis, MS Plus has been an amazing source of support, helping me navigate this new chapter of life and find my feet again. The work they do for people living with MS and their families is incredible, and I’ve experienced firsthand just how much of a difference that support can make.

Every donation, big or small, helps MS Plus continue supporting people, like me, as they navigate life after an MS diagnosis.

Thank you for being part of my journey and helping me give back to this incredible organisation.

Thank you to my Sponsors
