Biggest physical (sporting) accomplishment so far... kicking three goals in an under 12s footy match after having my head split open at a party the night before playing kiss chasy (for the record I was the one being chased). That and completing the whole of the MS4MS in one piece.
I am best at... Staying focused on what we’re trying to achieve and breaking everyone else’s balls to do the same.
Most looking fwd too on the Ms1000... The end and the feeling of accomplishment that comes with finishing each day and getting to $100k. That and all the crap food I’m going to eat without doing any exercise afterwards.
The one thing i wish will happen on the MS1000... We’ll finish the paddle in the dark one night (it’s cool, but we don’t want it to take that long every day)
Who do you think will throw the first tantrum on the MS1000? and what about? Probably me to be honest when things don’t go the way I’ve been picturing them in my head for the last two years. FYI I’ll probably go quiet and be very blunt with people when they ask me a simple question. I should get over it quickly though.
What is your weakness? The fact that I go quiet and get a bit blunt with people when they ask me a simple question. Overheating tends to be an issue due to some sort of diagnosed chronic condition or something, especially when combined with the fact that I haven’t always learnt to pull the pin when I should. I am getting better though Mum.
Your greatest fear for the event... Putting in all the work beforehand and having a relapse a week out and not being able to finish the job. My sense of direction is also likely to be an issue and it could become the MS1378 before we know it.
What should our next challenge be... Been toying with an idea over the last few years of pushing a car to Sydney to highlight the world’s reliance on oil. Shame I’m not enough of a Greenie to have any credibility to do this. The other option is the MAS1000 (Me as a Slackass 1000) where we paint a circle on the floor and put a beanbag in the middle. The challenge is to remain in the circle and survive the challenge of 1000 hours of DVDs, eating $1000 worth of pizza and drinking 1000 shots of coke. Credit must be given to Paul Zoppos who has started a solid preseason for this event as co-creator. We are looking for sponsors, so if you know anyone let me know. Funds raised will go towards repairing the venue for the event after they have to remove a wall to get us out of the building.

An inspiring story
Amazing results have been achieved in treating Multiple Sclerosis using radical and cutting edge research and techniques. Stories like these about Prue and her son Ben motivate the MS1000 team to raise funds so that further research can be done and treatment results will continue to improve, benefiting not just MS patients but also their families and loved ones. Click this to hear the amazing story of Ben and Prue. It will give you an idea of the sudden and unpredictable impact MS can have on young people and also the benefits research sponsorship can offer.
