Gold Coast Half Marathon LANE

By Matthew LANE

Help support Matthew LANE in their challenge

I'm fundraising to fight MS!

I am raising funds for MS Queensland to show my support and make an impact in the lives of people living with MS!

I rarely ask for much but am asking for a few $$ towards fighting a disease that doesn't discriminate. On the 4th of July 2021, I will be racing the Gold Coast Half Marathon. It will be a long run and will need some inspirational tunes to keep me going. For just $10 you can pick a song (any song) to get me over the line. The only requirement is that is must be at least 155bpm. Otherwise free game, everything from country, rock, dub step or even 'baby shark'. 

I am motivated by my friend Rachel KERR who I have watched power through fatigue, numbness and vertigo being a fantastic wife, mother, friend and aunt to my daughter all whilst facing the challenges of life with MS and undergoing treatments to not only allow her to have a better quality of life. But also help pave to way and looks for more treatments for those suffering worse than her. The least I could do is put my body to the limit and raise funds for research for not only her, but all those effect that may not have the ability to even consider such an event. All donations help and would be appreciated. 

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.
  • Three out of four Australians with MS are women

Your support will help fund essential services 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.

Please DONATE to help ensure no Queenslander faces MS alone.
