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!

So far this year

I feel good after tonight’s run. originally was planning on running 5km but felt good so went to 7km.

First run

Wednesday 1st Oct
The sole reason for doing this challenge is not only to help others but myself. I too struggle with depression and being isolated. last night I felt sadness but more so hopelessnes, I struggle to sleep, and to cope I resorted to eating poorly. Today I woke up feeling frustrated and had put on 2kg. You can’t out run a bad diet. I pushed through and surprisingly I ran my first 8km reasonably comfortably. so for me my challenge isn’t running 8km but to maintain a better diet. Anyway first run done.

Struggling to get donations

it is sad when you try to do something positive and nobody takes you seriously.
