Day 3

Good Morning Team NERCHA! 

It’s Day 3 and we’ve kicked off our challenge with a bang. We have surpassed our fundraising goal of $3000 dollars so we have doubled it!! 

We hope you have been enjoying your nominates activity and have been managing to avoid the cranky magpies!! 

If you have any photos or videos of you completing your activity, can you please send it to treasurer.nercha@gmail.com. We will use it for engagement on social media. If they are funny then that will save me from the embarrassment of trying to break dance in our first video. 

We are going to have a walk/run morning late next week so I will contact you with details only that. 

Good Luck out there everyone! 

With many thanks, 

the NERCHA team! 


We're fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

We are a small team from the University of New England, our Rural Health Club is called NERCHA and we represent students from all health degrees at the university. We are working hard at trying to address the health disparities faced by Australians living in Rural and Remote areas. 

If you don't live in a rural area and have ever hooked the caravan or camper trailer up to head west and explore. Have a thought about who would be called if you became stuck in the outback. 

Australia is a big country, and for those living in remote, rural and regional areas, access to immediate care isn’t a guarantee. For some communities, the nearest hospital is eight hours drive away.

This October, we're taking on a month-long fitness challenge to help more people access the care they need. By going further, we hope to raise as much as possible for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

Every year, the RFDS reach more than 330,000 Australians with 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary healthcare services. That’s one person every two minutes!

Together, we can keep the Flying Doctor flying and continue their life-saving work. Please donate to our challenge today!

Thank you to our supporters
