Adventure with Purpose: What if your next adventure could change lives?

Always thought of visiting Northland but haven’t gotten around to it? Is it on your list of things to do?

Why not see the rugged north and fundraise to help over 5000 Kiwis living with MS – Ride for MS 2026 is your chance to be part of something bigger.

Every pedal turned and every $ raised will help MS New Zealand’s advocacy work for better services, better access, better treatment, and better lives nationwide.

MSNZ supports 18 local societies across the country. Choose to support your local society as a fundraiser and 1/3 of the money you raise will be given to your local area and will directly help Kiwis with MS in your own community.
