Why I'm running

I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

One Monday morning I got a jumbled message from my Mum. It didn’t take long to work out something was very wrong.

The ambulance arrived in 15 minutes. She went on to spend a week in ICU before she was stable enough for an extended stay on the ward.

Without a doubt, the speed at which Mum was able to access high quality healthcare is the only reason she’s still here. I have spent the days since wondering how someone else’s Mum, a rural Mum, would access the same speed of care.

So here we are. By the end of October I will run 98km to raise money for the RFDS, for all the other loved ones that aren’t 15 minutes from help.

To spice it up, feel free to donate with a condition. “You can have $50, but you have to add 50 push ups”. “I’ve donated, but this month you have to do 20 squats a day”. Whatever makes you feel like I’ve earnt it *nervous laugh.

I’ll make a chart and keep tally, you’ll get a detailed report at the end.
