Why I'm walking
With more than 2,000 landing strips in the RFDS network across Australia, the RFDS aeromedical retrieval team is always ready to respond when an emergency strikes. This includes emergency care for people who are seriously ill or injured and require urgent medical attention as well as transport of patients between hospitals.
Over the past few years a few family members have been given excellent care by the RFDS in patient transfers from Yorkes to Adelaide. This year was the first year we have had to use it for immediate family with Hazel getting airlifted to the WCH with a bad concussion. From the moment the RFDS team met us at the hospital the level of care and reassurance we received was incredible.
Whilst the RFDS is a service we all wish we will never need to use, we are incredibly lucky to have such care available.
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!
