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

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!

As some of you may know, I have arthritis,  pretty bad in my right knee and when it gets cold enough my left knee and ankles ache also. As well as having lymphoedema  (mainly in my left left), varicose, ulcers, shortness of breath, diabetes , I got to the point that my weight has become a problem.

When I had seen this - RFDS walkabout, I thought I would give it a go. Tried last year but just couldn't do it. Having a crack this year, but thos time just 2-3 kilometres  on my bad days and hope to walk more on my good days.

My motto is " watch the fat guy fall and get up again" because like the RFDS, they never give up.

This is a worthy cause , your not supporting me but you are supporting RFDS. 

Your support my determination to compete this on your behalf

Thankyou for your donation and helping others to help others!
