Why I'm running

It’s been eight years since I got that phone call…

The one that told me my daughter had been in a horrific motor vehicle accident on a remote road in Kununurra.

Her injuries were so severe that they weren’t sure she’d even survive the flight with the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

The next few hours were a blur—packing suitcases, driving through the night, waiting by the phone for updates. I’ll never forget the call at 2am from the surgeon in Darwin, shocked that
she was still alive despite the extent of her injuries.

Eight years on, it’s still hard to reflect on how close we came to losing her. But thanks to the RFDS, Kununurra St Johns Ambulance, Kununurra Hospital, and a series of fortunate circumstances in a horrific situation—she is not only alive today, she’s absolutely kicking arse at life.

This is why I’m so passionate about supporting the RFDS and the work they do. And it’s why I’d love you to join me in supporting this year’s Oceans to Outback Challenge this October and help raise vital funds for the RFDS to keep doing the life-saving work that helped save my daughter.
