Isabel Has Only Two Weeks Left To Raise $3000 For Multiple Sclerosis - Can You Help?
This girl raised $2720 as a 13 year old for Multiple Sclerosis in Australia last year.
Her name is Isabel Byrne and her new aim is to raise $3000 in a 24 hour swimathon on 21 April this year.
Her team is also hoping to break the MS Australia record for most laps swum in a 24 hour swimathon.
If you can help Isabel break her fundraising record from last year, please visit MS Queensland - Isabel Byrne
Just $1.00 will help! If enough people are able to donate $1.00, it will be similar to Neil Armstrong's one small step.
Otherwise, please leave her some encouraging comments on this lens. This is her second attempt at fundraising for charity - she knows it is challenging to both raise the funds as well as to swim the 24 hours, so she will welcome your support.
Please forward her story as wide as possible to help MS sufferers throughout the world. Please remind your contacts that just $1.00 will make an enormous difference to MS sufferers - it might even help develop a cure.

Isabel's Swimathon Journey
Go Isabel!
We have this time left to support Isabel in her quest to raise $3000.
Raising the funds is our challenge, whilst Isabel uses this time left to train with her team to prepare for the gruelling 24 hour swim.
Her team captain has calculated that they must swim each 100metres in 1.17.00 over 24 hours to break the Australian record. There are now 10 swimmers on the team and with some careful strategy, planning and relaying, they do have a chance of reaching their goals.

- Great story! However, MS is 90%+ curable by diet. I have a friend who radically changed his diet to a Vegan diet and went from using a walker to about 90%+. He is not alone in his experience. The drug companies just don't want anyone to know that diet alone is a major component.
