Why I'm running

I'm running this October to save lives and help more Australians access essential healthcare.

I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

The RFDS helped me when my waters broke at 28 weeks and then Benedict decided to enter the world very early! They flew me safely down to Brisbane and then transported the two of us back home again when he was just 2 weeks old and weighed about 1.5kg.  I'm fundraising so that others who live regionally or rurally can have the same wonderful service that we had, when they are most in need.


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!
