Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is rare but with your help, it doesn't have to be invisible.

Combat MSA is a rare disease most people have never heard of, which means your support genuinely makes a difference. Be the one who brings it to light in your community. Even a kerbside bake sale can start the conversation and spark real change.

Some ideas to inspire you:

• Host a dinner or BBQ and ask guests to donate
• Dedicate your next run, ride, or swim to MSA
• Invite your workplace to get involved with a fundraising day
• Create a birthday fundraiser via your social media
• School Fundraising Project
• Sell something you’ve made and donate the proceeds

Your idea could be next, no idea is too small and every dollar counts!

ACTIVE FUNDRAISING INITIATIVE
DOING IT FOR HIS TEACHER
September 2026

Meet Olli. On 3 October, World MSA Awareness Day, he'll line up for the Karnu Rally: 1,200km of off-road bikepacking from Adelaide into the Southern Flinders Ranges. He's riding fully self-supported, with his clothes, shelter, food and water strapped to his push bike.

And he's riding for Ms Krieg.

Kate Krieg is one of those teachers you never forget. Olli says she "seemingly had endless amounts of time for her students" and was "the role model we all needed." Since Kate's MSA diagnosis, Olli has wanted to give something back for everything she gave him and his classmates.

So he's taking on his home state as fast as he can, aiming to finish in under six days. He set out to raise $5,000 for Combat MSA. He's already passed $4,000 before turning a pedal, so he's lifted his goal to $10,000.

We're so moved by this. It's what keeps us going: people showing up for someone they love and turning it into real support for MSA awareness and research.

You can watch Olli's progress and get involved here: 

Go well, Olli. We'll be cheering you all the way.

FUNDRAISER SPOTLIGHT
JANUARY 2026 - @emmajademccaskill

A table, a footpath, and a whole lot of heart

A family effort for Combat MSA

No venue. No ticket sales. No sponsorship. Just a mum, her daughters, a table on the footpath, and a pile of homemade baked goods all in the name of Combat MSA.

This is grassroots fundraising at its most genuine. Neighbours stopped. Strangers bought. And every dollar raised went straight toward funding research into Multiple System Atrophy, a disease that desperately needs more awareness and more support.

It's a powerful reminder that you don't need to think big to make a big difference. Sometimes the most meaningful acts happen right where you are.

Looking for a unique charity for a school project?

Combat MSA is a rare disease most people have never heard of, which means your support, no matter how big or small, can genuinely make a difference. Be the one who brings it to light on your school campus or in your community.  Every conversation started and every dollar raised sparks real change.

Your idea could be next!

A family bake sale like Emma and her girls, a boot camp, a football match, a quiz night, or something entirely your own. Every activity fuels the fight against MSA. The only requirement is heart.

Together we can change the story!
