Why I'm walking

I have chosen this challenge to walk 96kms in the month of October, above tells you why its a great cause, this year 98kms in 31 days will be a real challege for me personally. I love walking but since October last year I have struggled and been reliant on crutches for 7 months. I have been learning to walk again unaided since May this year. Without the help of my physiotherapist I would not be in a position to attempt this walk, thank you Emma. So for me to aim to walk 3.2kms per day for 31 days is a huge personal challenge. Please sponsor me and help me reach my goal of $300 for this great cause.

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!
