Why I'm walking

98km. One team. One important cause.

This October, I’m taking on the challenge of walking 98km from Oceans to Outback alongside fellow SES volunteers to raise much needed funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

As an SES volunteer, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to have people who will show up when others need help. Whether it’s responding to floods, supporting communities through disasters or simply being there when things go wrong, I’ve learned that connection, compassion and community can make an enormous difference.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service takes that same commitment to people across Australia, reaching those who live in rural and remote communities where access to essential healthcare can be challenging. Their work means that distance doesn’t have to determine whether someone gets the care they need.

Walking 98km will definitely push me physically and mentally, but knowing that every step is helping support a service that gives people access to life changing and lifesaving care makes it worth it.

I’m proud to be doing this alongside other SES volunteers and to once again be part of a team that is stepping up for our communities.

98km is a long way to walk, but it’s a small distance compared to the difference the RFDS makes every day.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every dollar helps keep the Flying Doctor flying. ❤️✈️
