May 50K 2023
Hey everyone, it’s nearly that time of year again…..The May 50K! Wooooop!
I love tackling this challenge and using it as a good reason to get out and about and cover some kms in the month of May.
The MS Australia May50k means a little more this year than it has the past 3 years. As most of you would know I was diagnosed with MS last year after we found another lesion on my routine scan. So as you can probably imagine, that has given me an EPIC boost of motivation to raise as much money as possible for this important cause. Im ready to work hard to kiss goodbye to MS and find a cure!
I did an interview with MS Australia and you can read it here https://www.themay50k.org/blog/ellen-ruggeri
If you would like to share it that’s totally cool too.
This year I am aiming to raise $1868 and complete 150kms riding, walking and running.
I would love it if you would partner with me in this challenge. You can join my team La Famiglia and smash out the challenge with me. Or you can sponsor me and my team in our endeavour to leave MS behind.
Support our challenge to leave MS behind!
We are taking part in The May 50K challenge this May to raise funds for life-changing research into multiple sclerosis!
MS strikes young people in the prime of their lives. The average age of diagnosis is only 30 years old, and there is no known cure.
Please make a donation and support our challenge to leave MS where it belongs, behind us.
Your donation will support research into the prevention, treatment and finding a cure for multiple sclerosis to change lives.
Thank you!
Thank you to our Sponsors
