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.

Last year, an impromptu visit to the Royal Flying Doctor Service Visitor Experience in Dubbo gave me a much better appreciation of what that distance can mean. And the extraordinary role the RFDS plays in bridging it.

This October, I’m taking on a month-long fitness challenge to help more people access the care they need. By logging some tidy kms myself, I hope to raise as much as possible for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

After all, the RFDS reaches more than 330,000 Australians each year through 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary healthcare services. That’s one person every two minutes.

Together, we can help keep the Flying Doctor flying and continue this vital work. 

Please donate to my challenge if you can. And if you’re ever in Dubbo, go visit the visitor centre!
