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!

So far this year
I’ve helped provide...

50

Laryngoscopes – used to assist in intubating and ventilating a patient.

31

Life-saving medical chests for a remote, rural or regional community.

29

My reason ‘why’

Saturday 27th Sep

This October I'm raising funds for the RFDS by walking 97 km - 1 km for every year that the RFDS has provided life-saving healthcare to patients from regional and remote communities. Working in Mt Isa last year opened my eyes to how crucial the RFDS is for the care of young people living in these communities. I worked closely with the RFDS as the Paed on-call to retrieve children from outlying remote communities to Mt Isa Base Hospital for acute care. I also liaised via Telehealth with amazing GPs, who would fly out with RFDS to these communities in North-West QLD and across the border in the NT, and provide specialist Paediatric opinion. I even had the privilege of being a 'flying doctor' myself through Mt Isa Base Hospital's own Paediatric outreach clinics to the remote communities of Doomadgee, Normanton and Mornington Island - an experience which has reshaped my practice forever. Without RFDS, the gap in equitable access to healthcare in rural and remote Australia would be even wider. Where you live shouldn't equate to poorer health outcomes. If this resonates with you, please consider donating. I've committed to raising $1500 to fund a Neopuff ventilator for unwell newborns - I'd love if you could help me reach this goal!
