What is Kiss Goodbye to MS?
An initiative of MS Australia (including us at MS Queensland), Kiss Goodbye to MS calls on people with MS, their friends, family and colleagues to raise funds for vital research into a cure and for services for people living with the disease.
How can I help?
- Host a Kiss Goodbye to MS fundraiser and register your event on the website.
- Wear, dare or share red or red lipstick during May and help spread the word about MS.
- Donate to the MS cause to fund vital research and support services.
What do the donations raised go towards?
All donations made on the Kiss Goodbye to MS website go towards preventing and treating the symptoms of multiple sclerosis, as well as providing support and services for people with MS. Australian scientists are optimistic that a cure can be found and it is your support that will make this happen. Click on the video below to learn more.

What is World MS Day?
World MS Day was launched on 27 May 2009 with over 200 events in 67 countries. It’s an opportunity to raise awareness about MS and to strengthen the network of people living with MS across the world. This year, the theme for World MS Day is 'Young People and MS'.
How can I help?
Host a World MS Day fundraiser in your community and help raise awareness about MS. It might be a presentation at your local school or an information stand at a shopping centre to promote the cause. For more information on how to fundraise for MS contact Julie Hanlon on 07 3840 0887.
Share your story of how you live positively with MS; whether you are young or young at heart we would love to hear from you. For more information on how to share your story for MS contact Natalie Walsh on 07 3840 0823.
Share your MS story and educate the wider community by becoming a MS Ambassador or, as it is the year of a Federal election, share your story to raise awareness with members of Parliament by becoming a MS Advocate.
