Why I'm walking

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

I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

In July this year my son required the services of RFDS following an accident. We live in a regional community and needed to fly to a capital city for him to receive surgery. Without their services his treatment and recovery would have been a lot more invasive, extensive and painful. I am so grateful for the treatment that was provided to him, the care that was shown to both of us in the short time we were in their care. These people are unsung heroes!

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!
