Support our challenge to leave MS behind!
The 2023 Flag isn’t the only thing Essendon Captain Zach Merritt has set his sights on: He wants to make MS a thing of the past.
Zach says, “I’m taking part in The May 50K this year to support my mother who has suffered from MS for 30 years.”
“The May 50K means a lot to me personally, growing up with my mum suffering from MS I understand the need for resources to help her out.”
Support Merrett & Mates Tackle MS in The May 50K 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 us 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

Hi Zach we are great friends of The Henry's and have met your beautiful Mum on many occasions, also going on the Comedy Cruise with them. She certainly has faced some major health concerns but still has that beautiful smile on her face. She once told me "there are people who are worse off than me" so that shows what a remarkable lady she is. Happy to donate to this cause.
