6.5km

Today I officially walked and ran the longest I have walked in a long time… At the start, my hip/back felt stiff and I thought I might not be able to make it to my goal at 5km. Around 3-4km in I started to believe I could do it. I felt strong and determined to go as far as I could. I got a donation and as promised I did an extra km. As I got past my goal I received a further donation. I am so unbelievably shocked and impressed by my abilities and how tough I really am. I think walking and running has shown me how strong I can be when I have a goal…

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!
