WHAT IS THE OCEAN RIDE FOR MS?
WHY MSWA?
The MS Society of Western Australia
(MSWA) hosts an annual cycling event
that follows our beautiful coastline from
Fremantle to Hillarys.
The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Western
Australia (MSWA) was formed over 40
years ago, by a group of people with MS
committed to helping others. MSWA’s
purpose is to help people living with MS
to get the best out of life; to advocate for
change and to search for a cure.
The event is open to any one and is
made up of a range of ride options to
suit all kinds of ages and fitness levels.
All of the funds raised from the event go
to help Western Australians living with
multiple sclerosis.
WHAT ARE THE RIDE OPTIONS?
There are 5 ride options to choose from,
which cater to all fitness levels and ages:
•
•
•
•
•
Mundella 10km family ride
30km ride
50km ride
70km challenge
90km challenge
Pharmacy 777 is a long-time supporter of
MSWA and the great work they do.
Over the last 5 years, Pharmacy 777 have
raised over $94,000 in support of MSWA.
These much needed funds have changed
many lives for the better.
777 fundraising has supported an MS
Wellness Camp, contributed to the
renovations at MSWA high support
accommodation and respite facilities
and has been used to outfit facilities with
essential equipment for Members.
