Race that gives back: Melbourne Cup fundraiser
The Dowerin Charity Events Team hosted a vibrant 2025 Melbourne Cup Fundraiser in the central Wheatbelt, raising an incredible $3,320 in support of the MSWA NeuroConnect Nursing program.
Guests enjoyed a fabulous lunch and an afternoon of lively entertainment, including performance from a local school choir and an energetic dance from a local boot scooting group.
Guest speakers, Margaret Couper and Rick Rackham, are well-known community members in the Wheatbelt. Both have a personal connection to MS and shared heartfelt reflections on how MS affects the daily lives of those who live with the condition.
It was a meaningful insight into the realities of the condition and highlighted the importance of ongoing support services, including the MSWA NeuroConnect Nursing program. This new service will provide after hours access to specialist nursing care for our Clients. It’s a major step forward in ensuring continuity of care and reducing hospital admissions – ensuring peace of mind, day or night.
Thank you to all who attended and for making this a meaningful and memorable event.
