Here’s how you can help… Fundraise!

As you can see – there’s a fair bit of logistics and organising from the committee to make the Gong weekend for you as kick-ass as possible. The ONLY THING we ask is that you give the fundraising a red hot go!

The easiest way to do this is get your Gong Ride profile on the MS Page and share the link to your networks to get sponsors.

Enjoy the weekend and if you have suggestions, we’d love to hear it!
