I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

As you are aware that Australia is a very large country. Having moved from a city environment,  you get used to having an ambulance within 30-60 minutes. A Dr on every corner. And bored people with nothing to do but hang out in the emergency room of a public hospital then demand that they're relative with a pain in the stomach should be given priority  over someone who has either been shot, had a serious accident or having chest pains.
I get it. So when you hear stories in the country that there are parts in Australia who have to wait a few hrs for medical help to get to them or if you want to go see your local Dr you have a minimum 4 week wait. And that's if you have a Dr in your area. But imagine this. There are communities and towns that rely on an organisation that brings those medical services out to they're community.. a nurse, Dr, Dentist and even at times a specialist service. A team of dedicated staff that are ready to go at a moment  notice. There are no cues but people who are happy to wait knowing they would be seen and that no one gets left behind.
A service that has been operating solely on donations and grants.
They are a group of dedicated personnel  with one agenda in mind. Your health.
If your ever going to take a trip into Outback Australia, this is the service that will be there to help you. Only with your donation.
 Imagine being in the outback and having no such service available instead, a service that only helps those that are insured . If your not insured, the closest hospital is 800klm away. Would you want a service like that? Neither do I - Support the Royal Flying Drs Service. The service that helps you and doesn't say wait in line or insurance number please.
