Why I'm running

I'm running this October to save lives and help more Australians access essential healthcare.

Day 5 - Long Weekend Running

Last year I ran 97km, exceeding my target by 10km and raised a huge amount for the RFDS. This year I’m hoping to do the same. Last year, I commited to running 3km MOST days - some days more, some days less. I was so proud of the results- both in how I felt physically and mentally, as well as the change in metrics my smart watch was spitting out. In the last couple of months I’ve been focusing on resistance exercise so this challenge is the perfect motivator to get me running and outside again. This weekend we’ve been staying on a beautiful farm in the mountains. I switched my trail running for these beautiful pastures.

Day 1, 2026. Let’s Go!!

I am super excited to commit, once again, to running 87km this October for the Royal Flying Doctors! I hope you join me in anyway you can- whether it be donating, signing up yourself or starting your own movement journey! Happy trails! Amanda.

I'm 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, I’m taking on a month-long fitness challenge to help more people access the care they need. By going further, I 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 my challenge today!
