At the MS Society SA & NT, we are deeply grateful for the incredible individuals who support people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and the important work we do. Whether it’s organising fundraisers or delivering engaging programs, every contribution plays a vital role in improving the lives of those affected by MS.
That’s why we’re proud to host our annual Renee Thonard Award, a special opportunity to recognise and celebrate the outstanding efforts of those who go above and beyond for our community.
This is more than just an award, as it allow us to acknowledge the dedication of individuals making a real impact and to connect with the many passionate advocates working tirelessly behind the scenes.
