COMMUNITY<br />
FUNDRAISERS IN FOCUS<br />
<strong>MSWA</strong> Client Dymathy<br />
Hollands and family.<br />
Boots, Bubbles and BBQs, what do they have in common you might ask? <strong>MSWA</strong> Community<br />
Fundraisers, they come from all sorts of avenues!<br />
COCKBURN LAKES FOOTBALL CLUB<br />
FUNDRAISER<br />
Boots were donned, as the<br />
Cockburn Lakes Football Club<br />
took to the field for their Round 15<br />
Blockbuster against Nollamara on<br />
Saturday, 24 July.<br />
With the cause close to the heart<br />
of the team, they were joined by<br />
<strong>MSWA</strong> Client Dymathy Hollands,<br />
who was diagnosed with MS 15 years<br />
ago, and her family who helped to<br />
spur the team on to victory.<br />
With a triumphant win by the<br />
team on the day, funds from the<br />
sale of match day jerseys, raffles<br />
and auction, and donations from<br />
supporters of Glen Hollands from<br />
Red Sands Suppliers, the fundraiser<br />
raised a phenomenal $15,000!<br />
Club President, Colin van Raalte<br />
said, "The Cockburn Football Club<br />
holds an annual charity game for<br />
community groups, and with <strong>MSWA</strong><br />
close to our hearts it was certainly<br />
one of the biggest fundraisers we<br />
have held. We hope that the money<br />
raised can help <strong>MSWA</strong> provide<br />
much needed support and we at<br />
the CLFC wish <strong>MSWA</strong> the very best<br />
in the future."<br />
BUBBLES & BLOWDRYS<br />
Bubbles were flowing on Saturday,<br />
2 October as Shenae Wilson and<br />
the team at Shenae Wilson Hair in<br />
Ocean Reef were blow-drying up a<br />
storm in the name of raising funds<br />
for <strong>MSWA</strong>.<br />
Clients were treated to a grazing<br />
board, cupcakes, raffle and other<br />
treats, oh and don’t forget a glass<br />
of bubbly or two as they were<br />
pampered by the team.<br />
Shenae has a close friend with<br />
MS and wanted to help make a<br />
difference. She and her team raised<br />
over $1,100 from the day!<br />
COFFEY IS COOKING, AGAIN!<br />
<strong>MSWA</strong> Client Rhys Coffey was<br />
diagnosed with Secondary<br />
Relapsing Progressive MS in<br />
November 2019, after many<br />
investigations into the symptoms<br />
he was experiencing.<br />
A 10-year FIFO veteran from the<br />
Pilbara, Rhys put his symptoms<br />
down to the changing conditions<br />
from life in Perth and in the Pilbara,<br />
then he went from the fly-in fly-out<br />
lifestyle to being a stay-at-home<br />
dad overnight. After diagnosis, Rhys<br />
found his life changed in so many<br />
ways, physically and mentally.<br />
