Why I'm walking
I'm walking this October to save lives and help more Australians access essential healthcare.
Donate now >>I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service
In Nov 2023, our son Colt had a medical emergency that really highlighted the challenges of living remotely. This emergency resulted in an RFDS careflight to Townsville to receive the necessary care, testing and training to be able to bring our boy home and navigate his medical needs moving forward. This was an incredibly stressful time for our household, and the support and care RFDS showed to us was incredibly appreciated.
Our little mate is a now happy and healthy 6yo - but the RFDS continue to support our rural and remote communities with care flights, medical chests, telehealth consults and outreach programs.
If it's within your means, please consider donating to these guys. Australia is a big country, and for those of us 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!
