Help me support people with MS

My name is Rob Johnston and I am taking part in the 2013 Gong Ride in order to raise funds for people affected by Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is the most common disease of the central nervous system and affects more than 23,000 Australians. Did you know? * The average age of diagnosis of MS typically between 20 and 40 years of age * MS affects three times as many women as men MS Australia aims to minimise the impact of multiple sclerosis on all individuals affected by the disease, as well as their families, carers and the community, by offering a wide range of services, equipment and support. MS Australia's goal is to assist everyone affected by MS to live life to their fullest potential and secure the care and support they need, until we ultimately find a cure. The ride is a scenic 90km spin starting at Sydney Park, St Peters, and finishing at Stuart Park, Wollongong. If you are curious, you can also check out the team's page here: http://register.gongride.org.au/2013-Sydney-to-Gong-Bike-Ride/KnorrBremse++Sigma and see how much we have collectively raised towards this great cause. Please DONATE by going to http://register.gongride.org.au/2013-Sydney-to-Gong-Bike-Ride/RobJohnston and help MS Australia support all people affected by multiple sclerosis.
