MS Megaswim
DD at age 15 has decided to do her second swim to raise money for MS. (Did it at 13 and her team raised $9032) Not sure they will get much due to the fund raising for flood victims. Check out the website at www.megaswim.com - she will be swimming at Maquarie Uni on March 12/13 under the name of Katy Phillips.
go Katy!
go Katy!

Re: MS Megaswim
Katy isn't in a team this year, she is an individual- Go to the website www.megaswim.com and click on find swimmer -search for Katy Phillips, at Macquarie Uni on 12/13th March. It was really hard getting a team to do the night shift, so she will turn up on the day and be allocated to a team- of course if anyone wants to join in and make a team with her, then they are very welcome. You can donate from the UK on a card, but it will have to be in dollars.
Thank you for your kind comments and donations in advance. Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll get her to make a team of one!!!

Re: MS Megaswim
As a MS sufferer, good on her. I make cards for fun and sell them at work and put half in a tin for ms, I will count up my bounty and send it her way. Although I did empty it recently for my cousin who was doing a bike ride for MS. $150 that time but it wasnt that long ago.

) any amount will be gratefully received. Perhaps you should apply for a scholarship to get yourself some cardmaking equipment....come to think of it, as I make cards, maybe I should too!

Re: MS Megaswim
when you go to www.megaswim.com you have to click on Donate, click on "find swimmer" then type in katy phillips. It will take you to her page so you can read all about it, then you can choose whether to donate or not. Hope that is a bit clearer now.

Re: MS Megaswim
No worries. All in a good cause. How are you doing. I just did 2 months of Tysabri and not doing it any more, felt worse since starting it then I have in about a year.
