Why I'm running

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

Its Personal

Australia is a big country, and for those living in remote, rural and regional areas, access to immediate care isn’t a guarantee. 

For me, it’s deeply personal. This year the RFDS flew my seven-day-old grandson to Perth for urgent meningitis treatment, and he has made a beautiful recovery. 

They also flew my husband to Perth following a life-changing spinal injury,  and later flew my father there for acute sepsis. All three are doing well thanks to access, to life-saving medical care, otherwise not available.

This October, I’m taking on a month-long fitness challenge to help more people access the care they need. I hope to raise as much as possible for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

Together, we can keep the Flying Doctor flying and continue their life-saving work. Please donate to my challenge today!
