About Ian Ballard
Ian Ballard was an inspirational person with MS who valued the importance of research into multiple sclerosis. He encouraged a group of like-minded people to start fundraising via various means. In November 2005, Foundation 5 Million (F5M) was launched in Sydney, with the idea that if 2,500 people with MS and their families and friends could raise $2,000 each, we could rapidly raise $5 million to fund MS research.
Unfortunately, Ian passed away from a heart attack in 2008 before he could see F5M achieve its goal of raising $5 million in 2011. This award is in his memory.
This award is specifically for MS researchers. Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of Australia or New Zealand.
