24.01.2022 Ok people, its officially happening. Online entries for the MS Moonlight Walk close TOMORROW. Dont miss out - Sign up NOW > https://bit.ly/MSMoonlightWalk

24.01.2022 "Get up, dress up, show up and never give up." This is Gails motto. But it comes with extra meaning when you hear Gails story. "After my diagnosis, my daughter at the age of 12 had to be a mother and sister to my son. My son at the age of 10 had to cook dinner because I couldnt get out of bed."... "The hardest thing of all is losing your independence." Because of walkers like yourself, we were able to help Gail when she needed us most. Gail says, MS Queensland have been amazing help and support for me both mentally and physically. Theyve provided me with amazing physiotherapy support, and having access to a Service Coordinator has been a lifeline! Ive met some lovely people and made lifelong friends. Never underestimate the impact that YOU can have on someone elses life! P.S. This Friday, you can meet Gail at our Community Cabana! The Community Cabana is a space where you can pop in and chat with our ambassadors and MS Queensland staff. They can answer any questions you might have about MS, the services we offer, and what impact MS Queensland will have with the funds raised from the walk.

24.01.2022 Because of the fundraising efforts of past Moonlight Walk participants, five wellbeing centres have now opened across Queensland. These centres are in Toowoomba, Ipswich, Dutton Park, Capalaba and Lutwyche which give people living in and nearby these areas local access to services such as service coordination, physiotherapy, exercise therapy and continence nursing. Our commitment to helping people live well locally will see us open Wellbeing Centres on the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast this year and next. Your fundraising means more people living with MS will have access to support programs when and where they need them.

23.01.2022 Meet Barbara. If she looks familiar to you, its because this is her 7th year doing the Moonlight Walk. Her motivation is her friend Wendy (also pictured) who is living with MS. Wendy and Barbara are Team Genki and for the last 6 years Barbara has reached Lunar Legend status with her fundraising. Lets all give Barbara a thumbs up for her commitment in the fight against MS!

22.01.2022 Heres our volunteers handing out one of our favourite parts of the Moonlight Walk; the lanterns! Volunteers give up their own time to make the lanterns possible for all of you on the night. Lets give them a big hand for another huge effort in 2019

22.01.2022 Event information emails have now been sent! Check your inbox for important (and fun) information about the event. This Includes the introduction of a licensed bar at home base, open from 4:30pm - 9:00pm! Alcohol will only be permitted to be purchased at the venue and consumed within the licensed area and no BYO alcohol is allowed (sorry folks)... Home base will be bustling when you get back from the walk, make sure you check it all out after!

20.01.2022 Did you check you inbox this week? We've shared Laura's journey living with MS, and how you are helping make a difference through your walk to fight MS, for others just like Laura. Because of her MS, Laura has had to make some significant changes in her work - I am no longer able to teach physical education outside in the sun as the hot temperatures trigger numbness and tingling in my feet and legs. I am now only able to teach in the classroom and do playground duty undercov...er. To help her manage her symptoms, Laura has worked with an MS Queensland Service Coordinator and is now set up with an NDIS plan to give her access to a variety of different health services.

11.01.2022 Meet Wendy Cox. Wendy is an absolute legend, as for the last 4 years she has been top fundraiser for the Moonlight Walk. And.shes in number one spot again this year. Wendy was diagnosed with MS in August 2004 when she was 42 years of age. Wendy says, Even though Im smiling on the outside, doesnt mean Im not hurting on the inside. MS Queensland has helped change my mindset to willingly approach family and friends for support of my own needs as a person living with MS as well as a fundraiser. It has certainly empowered me to try and be the best version of myself I can be, one day at a time.

01.01.2022 Check your inbox, because today we're sharing Barbara's reason for walking to fight MS... Barbara has been close friends with MS Ambassador, Wendy Lovelace, for close to 20 years now. "When we found out that Wendy was diagnosed with MS, it was such a shock and very hard to believe that such a thing would happen to such an energetic young lady, who loved life, loved bush walking and travelling. ... Barbara knows it can be hard at times to raise money, year after year, so she's started calling on what she enjoys doing most, and that is having dinner party’s!
