Why I'm walking
This October, I’m taking on a month-long fitness challenge to help raise as much as possible for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).
With more than 2,000 landing strips in the RFDS network across Australia, the RFDS aeromedical retrieval team is always ready to respond when emergency strikes. This includes emergency evacuations for people who are seriously ill or injured and require urgent medical attention as well as transport of patients between hospitals.
All aircraft are staffed with a pilot, flight nurse and a medical officer if required. The aircraft are fully pressurised and configured to resemble mini-intensive care units. They are fitted with a stretcher loading system that is fully compatible with road ambulance systems.
Please support my fundraising efforts today to ensure the RFDS can continue to deliver emergency aeromedical care to those who need it the most.
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!
