Our 6 legs will be walking in October to raise funds 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, Bella (my little chihuahua x pug) and i will be taking on a month-long fitness challenge to help more people access the care they need. By doing more exercise, we 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 our challenge today!

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

9

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

6

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

5

Defibrillator Pads – used with a machine to monitor a patient’s cardiac health.

My Updates

Yesss! Achieved my 87km goal a few days ahead of time.

Tuesday 28th Oct

Still $65 to raise to reach fundraising goal... but very happy with my achievement. I'll be 80 years old for the next one!

ONLY 7 DAYS TO GO!

Friday 24th Oct

OCEANS TO OUTBACK CHALLENGE for the RFDS . I’ve walked 71km of my 87 km target with one week to go, and raised $264 of my target of $350. Walking 16km this week is achievable, but I need some hardy supporters to donate a little each so that the remaining $86 of my fundraising target is achieved. Please!

TWO WEEKS TO GET THERE...

Friday 17th Oct

OCEANS TO OUTBACK CHALLENGE for the RFDS Weather is getting warmer so walks are getting later (I don’t like the heat and neither does Bella). Gardens and parks are looking great though. I’ve walked 49km of my 87 km target with 2 weeks to go, and raised $264 of my target of $350. Onward! Donate at: www.oceanstooutback.org.au/fundraisers/carolseidel/

Finding our walking legs

Tuesday 7th Oct

Now that we have completed our first week of walking for the RFDS, we are managing to go a little further, if not a little faster. Most days we are joined by our friends Diana and Molly which makes our walks more interesting and fun

And we're off...

Started recording my daily walks, some not very far depending on our unpredictable Spring weather. Looking forward to kinder weather in October for the actual Challenge
