WANT to see Shane Webcke in his budgie smugglers making an "imbecile" of himself?
Then hand over some money to MS Queensland for its upcoming swimathon and your wish will come true.
Michaela Chilcott from MS Queensland said the MS Swimathon was being held to raise money for people with multiple sclerosis
"Our goal is to raise $35,000 so we need the public's help," she said.
"Shane Webcke will be potentially getting in the swim should any corporate sponsors like to see him in his budgie smugglers."
Rugby league icon Shane Webcke said with the "appropriate amount of sponsorship" he would get into the pool and "make an imbecile" of himself.
He said he knew nothing about MS until a friend approached him.
"She explained to me what a debilitating, nasty disease it is," Webcke said.
"Knowing her has given me a real insight into MS and made me want to get involved in fundraising."
Webcke said the best part about the fundraiser was that the money raised in Toowoomba would stay in town.
Toowoomba woman Joanna Leane was diagnosed with MS in 2001.
"I moved to Toowoomba for the cooler climate because the weather affects us a lot," she said.
Ms Leane called on the Toowoomba community to come out and say hello at the MS Swimathon.
The MS Swimathon will be held at the Milne Bay Aquatic Centre from 6am - 6pm on Saturday, November 8.
