Why I'm walking
I have worked in various healthcare roles since 1987 and during that time have met many wonderful people from all parts of the country including rural and remote areas where services are limited.
This has given me a greater appreciation for how important the RFDS is, by providing health support to people living out of reach of regular health facilities.
As a result, I am walking in October to save lives and help more Australians access essential healthcare.
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!
