IN PICTURES: MSWA Albany Ride 2023 raises over $28,000 for people living with neurological conditions

Cyclists braved the brisk conditions at Emu Point on Saturday morning for the 2023 MSWA Albany Ride, raising money for the not-for-profit group which provides support and services to people living with neurological conditions. A bright sea of lycra stretched across the starting line at 8am, with 133 cyclists in 10 teams tackling 40km, 80km and 103km rides. Their efforts have raised a total of $28,246 to date with Tony Caramia raising the highest individual amount ($3,635) and Southern Masters Cycling coming in first for highest fundraising team ($5,875) followed by Worst Pace Scenario ($4,375). MSWA senior events coordinator Dannielle McConnell said Albany’s community spirit was on display during the ride. “Hearing the stories of the camaraderie that formed during the event and the great feedback after, it all made the cold morning worth it,” Ms McConnell said. “The community’s effort so far has seen our fundraising tally rise to over $28,000 for people living with neurological conditions, which is a huge effort.” Donations can still be made for another fortnight at: https://mswaalbanyride.org.au/search
