Our team is taking part in the 2010 Sydney 24 Hour Mega Swim to raise funds for people affected by Multiple Sclerosis. MS the most common disease of the central nervous system affecting over 18,000 Australians.
Did you know?
* The average diagnosis of MS is 30 years old.
* MS affects three times as many women as men.
The 24 Hour Mega Swim event raises funds for MS Australia's 'Go for Gold' Scholarship program. 'Go for Gold' scholarships are awarded to people living with Multiple Sclerosis covering a broad range of categories including education, travel, sport, music, the Arts and employment.
MS Australia aims to minimise the impact of multiple sclerosis on all individuals affected by the disease, their families, carers and the community by offering a wide range of assistance, services and equipment. MS Australia's goal is to assist everyone affected by MS to live life to their full potential and secure the care and support they need, until we ultimately find a cure.
Please DONATE by clicking on the button to the right and help us show our support for all people affected by multiple sclerosis.

A small donation to kick start your fundraising efforts this year... I had to use up the balance on my EPAC salary packaging debit card before the end of the FBT year today - as you're an Accountant, you'd know all about that. :) I'll donate more when you send out your email to everyone in the not too distant future. |
