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).

Earlier this year, I experienced firsthand just how vital the Royal Flying Doctor Service truly is. Amid a high-risk pregnancy complication, I was flown urgently to Adelaide by the incredible RFDS team. Being airlifted for a medical emergency is a frightening and vulnerable experience, but thanks to the kindness, care, and professionalism of the nurse and pilot who accompanied me, I felt safe and supported during one of the most scariest moments of my life.

My gratitude runs deep; not just for my own experience, but because RFDS has also come to the aid of several of my family members over the years. That’s why this October, we’re rallying together to give back to the service that has done so much for us. The RFDS has helped save our lives- and now it’s our turn to help support them.

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.
