Swim, Walk Or Run For Multiple Sclerosis
The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Bermuda will be hosting their 6th annual Swim-a-thon on Saturday, March 5th at the Bermuda National Sports Centre Aquatics and Fitness Centre.
A spokesperson said, “What began as a small event has grown into what the Society now considers to be its main fundraising initiative in its calendar year. All funds go directly towards assisting members with the expenses associated with medications, physiotherapy, mental health therapy, accessibility equipment, education of its members, the medical profession and the general public.
“2023’s event will bring with it some changes: The first being the change of name to the Stanley Ingham Memorial Swim-a-thon, as a fitting tribute to the Society’s former committee member and one of its biggest supporters, who sadly passed away a few weeks ago.
“The addition of other activities in the form of a ‘Walk/Run for MS’ will be introduced for the first time to give those members not swimming, family members, friends and anyone else just wanting some fresh air and exercise, the opportunity to do so on the North field next to the pool.
“Swimmers can participate, completing as many laps as they wish and at any time between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. The Walk/Run for MS will be from 9:00 am to 11:00 am.
“Details on both events and access to the pledge forms and waiver can be found on the Society’s website at www.mssociety.bm.“
