Organisers of Paddle to Battle MS would like to invite you to participate in the 2014 event. PTBMS is a Stand Up Paddle (SUP) event raising funds for World leading Australian research in the battle to cure Multiple Sclerosis.
It will be held on Saturday 15th March 2014 at Collaroy Beach on Sydney's Northern Beaches. The SUP races are an exciting short course - starting on the beach paddling out through the surf around buoys and back to the beach finish line. A technical SUP race.
There are 5 race categories, so paddlers of all ages and experience can compete. If you don't have a board don't worry! The crew at Naish will be providing the one design races to ensure all can participate. There will be plenty of action also on the beach to entertain everyone - latest SUP equipment & demo gear, BBQ's, raffles, music. It will be a great family and community event to support a great cause.
The first event held last year raised more than AUD$28,000! We thank all those that supported the event last year. Every cent counts and all money goes direct to MS Research Australia.
This year we are targeting over AUD$30,000.
We are grateful for the continuing support from Warringah Council & Mayor Honourable Michael Regan, Collaroy Surf Lifesaving Club, MS Research Australia, NaishSUP, local businesses & community groups.

Multiple sclerosis is the most common neurological disease affecting young Australians. It is a condition that debilitates many young adults in their prime and for the rest of their lives. There are over 23,000 people living with MS in Australia and five more people are diagnosed every working day, with over 2.5 million known MS suffers worldwide.
What sets F5m+ apart from most other charities is that a dedicated team of volunteers contribute their time and energy, ensuring every dollar raised at F5m+ fundraising events is placed into research for a cure to MS. Having raised over $7 million since the launch seven years ago, F5m+ is making a significant contribution to MS research in Australia and is also making leading contributions to the effort worldwide.
Let's Get Racing Towards a Cure and Paddle to Battle MS!
