Extreme fatigue, blurred vision, loss of balance and muscle coordination are just three of the many, known and unknown, symptoms of Multiple Scleroris or MS . Every working day, 4 Australians are diagnosed with this often debilitating disease of the central nervous system. The annual MS Sydney to the Gong ride is a charity bike ride where participants choose to cycle 82 or 58 km, from the heart of Sydney to the sandy beaches of Wollongong. This year on Sunday, the 4th of November, as they battle the ups and downs of the Royal National Park south of Sydney, cyclists will be raising money for support and services to help those suffering from Multiple Sclerosis.
