Day 4: ocean to outback.

I'm in admiration of this Whyalla RFDS ground crew, cooking up a storm every Saturday morning. Ps, Strava didn't register my ride this morning 😥, so I entered it manually ✅

Day 1. Oceans to Outback, RFDS 🚴‍♀️

One big lap around Whyalla on my old Cadex to kickstart my fundraising for the RFDS and in Mums memory 💞_ _ 🚴‍♀️_ _🙏

Morning walk at the beach

Beautiful morning walk down the foreshore this morning with my dog Indi. After our walk we shared hot cinnamon donuts whilst watching the world go by.

We're fundraising for the royal flying doctor service

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
