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 February 2026, my life changed unexpectedly when I developed compartment syndrome.
What started as a medical emergency quickly became something much more serious. I needed urgent medical attention, and this was where the Royal Flying Doctor Service became part of my story.
The RFDS was there when I needed them. Their incredible team helped get me the medical care I urgently required, at a time when I was scared, vulnerable and didn't know what was going to happen next.
I'll never forget that.
Now, as I continue moving forward from what happened, I've decided to take on the RFDS Oceans to Outback Challenge this October
This time, I'm not the person needing their help — I'm doing what I can to help support them.
Taking on this challenge is my way of saying thank you to the people who were there for me when I needed them most, while helping ensure the RFDS can continue being there for someone else when their moment comes.
I know this challenge is going to push me physically and mentally. There will probably be moments where my legs remind me of what I've been through and ask me why I thought this was a good idea.
But every kilometre will have a meaning behind it.
I know firsthand that the RFDS isn't just an organisation. They're people who show up when you need them most.
So if you can spare a few dollars, I'd be incredibly grateful for your donation. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will help support the incredible work of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
In February, they helped me.
Now it's my turn to help them. ❤️
