Why I'm riding

Australia is a huge country with amazing resources in terms of our people, spread across this wide land. We all need medical care throughout our lives, yet those who live in Outback and Regional Australia often have to travel many hours receive even basic attention, that city-folk take for granted.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service fills that crucial gap for people living in regional and remote areas of our great country. I want to support the RFDS to continue their 98 year history of providing needed medical services to everyone in need.
I am taking up the physical challenge of riding 604 km on my bicycle during the month of October. You can support my efforts by adding your donation. Thank you for your help.

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!
