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

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!

So far this year

My Updates

The challenge begins today!

Thursday 1st Oct
Thanks to those who have already supported my Oceans to Outback challenge. The official challenge begins today, and I’m hoping to walk 100 kms this month, and raise $500 towards RFDS. I managed 63 km during September, so time to really step it up!
If you are able to make a donation, that would be greatly appreciated by all those in regional and outback Australia who rely on the services of the RFDS.
