Fundraising for Multiple Sclerosis

The 24 hour swim raises money for those suffering from MS. My target is to raise $1,000 through this swim. Thanks to my friends' generosity I'm nearly there already, but let's keep going.
Did you know: 
  • The average diagnosis of MS is 30 years old.
  • MS affects three times as many women as men.
Funds raised by 24 Hour Mega Swims support people with MS through:
  • Go for Gold scholarships. These are awarded annually to people living with multiple sclerosis to help them reach their goals. A diagnosis of MS often causes people to re-evaluate their lives and a consequent change in their goals or career. These scholarships help people with the transition, to assist people to achieve their dreams or to help with an area of great potential. They are awarded in the categories of education, employment, travel, the arts, sport and music.
  • Financial Assistance Programs. These are determined periodically to provide immediate support for people living with MS that have a significant need.
If you would like to help support the programs, please click on the '24 Hour Megaswim' button to the right and then the 'Donate Now' button on the right. 

Thanks very much for your support.
