Over 100 participants from the Shepparton region are set to take part in the annual MS 24 Hour Mega Swim, which is in its eighth year of operation in Shepparton.
Running from 12pm on February 18 to 12 pm on February 19 at Aquamoves in Shepparton, the event aims to raise funds to support people living with MS and provide them with the opportunity to follow a dream through the MS Go for Gold Scholarship Program, which gives them an opportunity to fulfil their potential in life by pursuing aspirations in the fields of employment, sport, travel, education or the arts.
Funds also support financial support programs and services provided by MS to benefit people living with MS.
Last year over 50 swimmers helped raise almost $20,000.
This year the aim is to make the event bigger and fill the pool.
Australian Paralympian and founder of the MS 24 Hour Mega Swim and event program, Carol Cooke AM said, “We want to raise more and help more for those living with MS just like me.”
It’s not too late to register or donate to the MS 24 Hour Mega Swim, which can be done by visiting msmegaswim.org.au or calling 1300 733 690.
