Why I'm walking

Australia is a vast country, and for people living in remote, rural and regional communities, access to healthcare isn’t always guaranteed. For some, the nearest hospital or medical service can be hours away.

Having grown up on a sheep and cattle station in rural Australia, with the closest town an hour away, I understand firsthand the challenges of living far from essential services. Growing up in a large family in a small rural community, I saw how important reliable access to healthcare is, particularly when medical help is a long way from home.

I know how vital services like the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) are when they’re needed most. With my family also heavily involved in healthcare, supporting this cause is especially close to my heart.

This October, I’m taking on a month-long fitness challenge to raise funds for the RFDS and help more Australians access the care they need, no matter where they live. By pushing myself to go further, I hope to raise as much as possible to support their incredible work.

Every year, the RFDS reaches more than 330,000 Australians through its 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary healthcare services — that’s one person every two minutes!

Together, we can help keep the Flying Doctors flying and ensure vital healthcare reaches those who need it most. ❤️✈️

Please consider donating to my challenge. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, can make a difference.

Thank you so much for your support! ❤️
