2023 MS Gong Ride

Fundraising Rank: 68

I'M RIDING 82KM THIS OCTOBER
THE DISTANCE FROM
Sydney TO WOLLONGONG

I'm taking the Challenge to fight MS!

This November, I am taking part in the 2023 MS Gong Ride!

Since 1981, this iconic ride has raised funds to help fight MS and I'm now part of this incredible legacy.

Why am I fundraising?

It’s quite staggering to think that multiple sclerosis affects more young people than any other chronic neurological condition. The average age of diagnosis is 30 years, and there is no known cure.

Every person’s MS varies, but some of the symptoms are not being able to see properly (or at all), loss of balance, ability to walk, pins and needles, and chronic pain.

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.

Thank you again for your support!

The last 24hrs!

Wednesday 1st Nov
Many thanks Β everyone!

It has been an extraordinarily busy 24 hrs & I am so grateful for all your support, both emotionally & financially! Β 

I am terrified of how MS can occur with no clear indication until it is quite advanced. The fact that one dies with MS rather than from is so insidious as my dear friend battled with it for over 40 years with extraordinarily difficult challenges but always had a smile!☺️

Thank you again! I am so grateful for everyone’s support!Β
