Please help me to be Limitless For MS!
This time, a 24km swim. I know, I know....
I'd love for you to follow my journey through this fundraising page and for any support fundraising wise you can assist with.
Any donation will ensure that Aussies are well supported while they face the challenge of living with multiple sclerosis!
MS is the most common disease of the central nervous system - currently there is no cure.
It's quite staggering to think that multiple sclerosis affects more young people than any other neurological condition, with the average age of diagnosis just 30 years old - I was about 26!.
Every case of multiple sclerosis is unique - the symptoms, severity and progress of the disease are different for everyone.
You can ensure Aussies living with multiple sclerosis can break down barriers, achieve goals and live well by making a secure online donation.
Thank you for your support.

A while between drinks - a quick update
Monday 13th Jan So the last few weeks have seen me swim about 70kms, that has included a few 10km+ swims, one yesterday in bloody horrible conditions; but that is partly the reason I am doing this: I am a lucky one WHO CAN get out and swim 10Km. Pain as they say is temporary: glory is for ever. I'm not sure how much glory I'll take from this, but I do know that major pharmaceutical companies, especially those making painkillers, will be my new friends - OMG my shoulders ache... Share
