THE 2022 Shepparton MS Mega Swim event will be held at Aquamoves Shepparton on February 19 2022, with around 40 locals expected to make a splash and fundraise to ensure that nobody within the community has to face multiple sclerosis (MS) alone.
Open to all ages, backgrounds and abilities, the 2022 Shepparton MS Mega Swim is a fun team relay event raising valuable funds for people living with multiple sclerosis.
The event aims to raise $10,000, with funds raised going towards the MS Go For Gold Scholarships, Financial Assistance Programs and providing services to directly benefit people living with multiple sclerosis.
MS Go for Gold Scholarships are awarded to people living with multiple sclerosis who wish to achieve a dream. Scholarships are awarded in the categories of education, arts, travel, music, employment and lifestyle & wellbeing.
“MS Go for Gold Scholarship has allowed me the opportunity to update my computer and illustration software, so that I can draw digitally instead of having to create everything from scratch in a laborious way. Being awarded a scholarship was like a dream come true!” said Melanie Caple, artist and 2020 ‘Go for Gold’ award recipient.
The annual event in the Shepperton region is organised by local champion and community host, Damien Stevens, with support from the events team at Multiple Sclerosis Limited.
