I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

The Royal Flying Doctor Service is a cause that's really close to my heart.

I grew up on a farm, and while we were fortunate to be close enough to a small country town with a doctor, I know that's not the reality for so many people living and working in remote Australia.

Working in the mining industry has shown me just how vital the RFDS is. One of my workmates was knocked unconscious when a toolbox lid slammed shut on the back of his head. The RFDS responded quickly and got him the urgent medical care he needed. Seeing how fast they acted really drove home how important their service is.

Without the RFDS, countless farmers, mine workers and remote communities wouldn't have access to life-saving emergency care when they need it most.

The people they help are the people I respect the most—hard-working Australians who keep our country running. That's why supporting the RFDS means so muc

h to me.
