Thank you to everyone for a hugely successful first round of swims at Gladstone and for another spectacular year in Rocky. Fundraising is still open for a few more weeks and it’s not too late to donate....

08.01.2022 The health and wellbeing of our MS community and MS Swimathon event supporters is our number one priority. In line with the Australian and State government restrictions in response to the unfolding coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the remaining MS Swimathon events in Cairns, Mackay and Townsville will be cancelled. We understand these events are incredibly important to our local communities and we want to say a huge ‘thank you’ for your support this year. Across the ten MS ...Swimathon events this year, you have raised an incredible $160,000 to help deliver local services across these ten locations. This is such an incredible achievement. We may be isolated, but we are not alone. Demand for services goes up in a time like this, and we are underway with a comprehensive COVID-19 response plan to ensure our residents in accommodation sites are well prepared, and that our nurses, support coordinators, and Neuroassist line advisors are there to support our MS community through this time. It’s your fundraising that powers this response. Please continue to raise these vital funds. If you are living with MS and need information or support over this time, please call our NeuroAssist line on 1800 177 591.
