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

Our story with the Royal Flying Doctors is personal!
January, 2021 we were on holiday in Barmera and at 4.30 one morning, my husband had a life-threatening heart attack...whilst sleeping in our caravan.
The medical journey to get him safely to RAH was incredible. One part of this was the RFD. Put together, it meant he had a stent in by 1.30 pm the same day.
We have never forgotten the care and diligence, and now want to pay it forward.
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!
