Why I'm walking

I'm walking this October to save lives and help more Australians access essential healthcare.

Day 3 - 3.5 km

Incidental kms today. Didn’t get a lot of kms in but I was carrying a heavy backpack through muddy and cold conditions. That counts for something right? 27 days and ~135km to go! Thanks again to everyone who has donated to help keep the RFDS running. Not that most planes run. They usually fly.

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!
