I'm taking part in the 2025 MS Brissie to the Bay to change the lives of people living with neuro conditions!

I’m taking on the MS Brissie to the Bay challenge because I am pushing limits—not just mine, but the limits of what’s possible for people living with MS and neurological conditions.

This ride is more than just a day on the bike—it’s a commitment to go further, do more, and create change.

Every kilometre I ride and every dollar I raise will help fund essential services, support, and research for the 1 in 4 Queenslanders living with a neurological condition.

Did you know?

  • Over 1 million Queenslanders live with a neurological condition, including MS, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and MND.
  • Many face daily challenges—from mobility struggles to cognitive and sensory changes.
  • Just 6% of those living with a neurological condition receive vital support through the NDIS.

That’s why I’m pushing myself—not just physically, but in my fundraising—to ensure no one faces MS or a neurological condition alone.

Please donate today and help power life-changing support and research. Every dollar counts, and together, we can make a lasting impact!

Thank you to my sponsors

In Honor of my Swim Coach 'Finney' aka Ian Finlay

View
One of the people whom I've always thought about whom passed away was my previous Swimming Coach Ian Finlay -

An absolute legend whom I never really got to speak to in his later years. He was diagnosed aged 40 with Young Onset Parkinsons Disease and sadly passed aged 55.  Im still in disbelief that a former Olympian, amazing coach, inspiration and mentor passed away at such a young age from such a disease. 
Where this is not MS it is a Neuron condition which eventually took his life. Follow the below links to read about this incredible legend who was a great inspiration in my life. 

Thank YOU Finney I still hear your encouragement & word of inspiration when Im training some days.
