Raising awareness for MS in 2024
With our team focus in 2024 MS Qld B2B on raising awareness we have selected orange which is the official colour for MS awareness and a nod to the Hekawi team (their preferred Kit colour to safely be seen on or off road) who first joined us in 2016 for from memory a wet ride that year and have ALL been avid riders, significant fundraisers and supporters of MS Qld over the last 9 years which we cannot thank enough and the orange butterfly is seen as a symbol in the MS community.
How —
and why — the MS Community landed on a butterfly symbol. Some say it was chosen
because of the caterpillar-to-butterfly cycle, “They are considered a symbol of
life transformation” essentially, butterflies can represent how some people in
the MS community feel when they transform their post-diagnosis lives for the
better. Another member shared a different take. “It is a sign of HOPE,” they
posted. Yet another member pointed out that magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) scans of brains with MS resemble images of butterflies, hence the
use of the symbol.
We are taking part in the Ride to Fight MS
It is rewarding to be taking part in the 34th MS Brissie to the
Bay bike ride as one of our Twenty24 #ProjectMAD initiatives to
join the fight against multiple sclerosis (MS).
What started as a social ride amongst friends and colleagues fourteen years
ago for the personnel challenge and the opportunity to Make A Difference (MAD) is very
gratifying.
We are raising awarenessfunds to show our support and your donation will make an
impact to change the lives of Queenslanders living with MS.
Did you know:
- On average, more than 10
Australians are diagnosed with MS every week
- The average age of diagnosis
is just 30 years of age
- It strikes young people in
the prime of their lives (3 out of 4 Australians with MS are women)
Your dollars will provide essential services and support like
physiotherapy, occupational therapy, counselling and symptom management, as
well as MS research to look for better treatments and ultimately a cure for the
disease to assist all those affected by MS to live life to their fullest and
reach their true potential.
Please DONATE to support our ride and make your impact
on the lives of Australians living with MS.
