Why I'm walking

❤️ Why I’m doing Oceans to Outback ❤️
This one is quite personal to me!!
Working in emergency response, I’ve seen firsthand how quickly an ordinary day can change. When something goes wrong, having the right people, the right skills and the right help available can make an enormous difference.
Working in remote Australia has also given me a much greater appreciation for just how far some people are from a hospital or specialist medical care. When you’re hundreds of kilometres from the nearest major medical facility, you can’t simply put someone in a car and drive them there.
That’s where the Royal Flying Doctor Service becomes so incredibly important.
The RFDS brings lifesaving medical care to people who live, work and travel across some of the most remote parts of Australia. They’re there for the farmer, the station worker, the miner, the traveller, the child — and their families — when they need help most.
I’ve spent much of my career being part of emergency response teams, and I know how much it matters to have someone come when you make that call.
The RFDS is often that call for people who are a very, very long way from help.
That’s why I’m doing Oceans to Outback this October.
I’m going to put in the kilometres, challenge myself and hopefully raise some much-needed money along the way — because somewhere out there, that money could help get a medical team to someone on one of their worst days.
If you can spare anything to support me, I would genuinely appreciate it. ❤️
Every kilometre I do and every dollar raised is for something much bigger than me.
