MS Gong Ride - the ride to fight MS

This ride took place on November the 3rd with thousands of cyclists hitting the road to ride from Sydney to Wollongong to raise funds for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

MS is a chronic and often debilitating disease that attacks the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord,  and optic nerves). MS is the most common neurological disease in young adults and often arises when people are at a time of their life when they are raising young families and building a career.

What can be confounding about MS is that no two cases of MS are identical. There are visible and invisible symptoms that vary from person to person. Check out Australia's animation demonstrating this. MS is a lifelong disease and there is no known cure.

The MS Gong Ride raises money to provide services and assistance to people living with multiple sclerosis. You can still donate at https://www.msgongride.org.au/ . You can learn more about MS and the MS Australia website.
