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!

When Cor and I were working out on the farms repairing fencing earlier this year, I needed some medical attention, and that brought to light the distances and challenges that are faced by the people living remotely when medical attention is required.  This highlighted the amazing service that RFDS provides.

Together, we can keep the Flying Doctor flying and continue their life-saving work. Please donate to my challenge today!

So far this year

Nearly there

Thursday 30th Oct
Thank you anonymous donor! another step closer! Who else will help support the great work of Royal Flying Doctor Services?

Moonboot speed!

Friday 10th Oct
3 weeks ago I tore 2 ligaments in my left foot! Now I have to wear a moonboot to allow the ligaments to heal! But I committed to walking for RFDS - so now it will take me a lot longer and more physical effort to reach my distance goal. I might be going at a snails 🐌 pace, but I will get there. Will you help me by chipping in a donation? Thank you!

Slow and steady

Sunday 5th Oct
With a moon boot on due to a torn ligament, my progress is slower than I would like, but slow and steady will also get there eventually.
