Uni staff and students encouraged to swim for charity
Published on 01 May, 2013
The pool at CQUniversity Rockhampton is hosting the Rockhampton MS Swimathon on Saturday, May 25.
Organisers are encouraging University staff and students to get involved and to form teams.
The MS Swimathon is a fundraising initiative rolled out across regional Queensland to raise vital funds for people living with multiple sclerosis. The funds raised at the Rockhampton MS Swimathon event will directly contribute to supporting people living with multiple sclerosis in Rockhampton.
The concept is simple - teams of up to 12 people swim relay style for 12 hours! Individual team members fundraise to contribute toward their team's overall fundraising tally. Awards are given to the highest fundraising team and individual. There's also an award for the team which swims the most laps over the event period.
