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 as my sister Laura was one of these people. In January 2023 Laura had a near fatal car accident in the small town of Pingrup, 5 hours from Royal Perth Hospital (RPH). Laura was transferred via the Royal Flying Doctor Service for life saving treatment at RPH.

Over the last 2 and a half years, Laura has had to relearn how to talk, walk and other day to day functions that many of us take for granted. Her resilience in the face of adversity is something that has inspired me, and our Oceans to Outback team, year after year.

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!
