Unbelievable!

Wow! Thankyou to all my wonderful friends, family and "unknowns" for your donations! You have notched up $1500! This is way beyond my imagination when I first started! You are all making such a difference - you are all part of the rescue teams! 🙏🙏❤️❤️ kathy

Hot Day!

Hot NW wind today, not pleasant for walking but did stop for a swim on the way back!🏊‍♀️🏖 Thanks again to my latest supporters you are really helping many people Outback. Kath

Broulee walk

Walking today

Lovely walk around my village, including the beach and lookout. Thanks again to all my wonderful and generous supporters, you are the ones raising the bar! Thank you!🩷🙏 kath

Amount left out!

That is $1000 is so close!

Sparkling day on the south coast

Shorter walk today, but I am halfway into my goal! Thank you again to all the generous donors who are pushing the limits! So close to $1000 - i can hardly believe it. I recently read the book Nurses of the Outback by Anna Ellen Brayley purchased by my sister at the rfds in Charleville which we visited recently. These nurses who work remotely, and closely work with the rfds are inspirational. Thank you to you all and to the doctors. 🩷🙏

Sunny south coast

A stunning day on the south coast- great for walking! I think of all my wonderful donors as I walk. You are all inspiring me!

Steady walk today

I walked 8.4 km yesterday- overdid it a bit, so a gentle stroll around my beautiful village today 3.5km

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
I’ve helped provide...
