Why I'm running
I'm running and walking 97 kms this month to help raise much needed funds for the RFDS. Why 97? Because that's how old the RFDS is this year. That's nearly a century of providing medical care to remote parts of Australia and they are still going strong.
That longevity relies on donations though to keep the aeroplanes in the air and the doctors and medical staff saving lives and livelihoods.
Having a daughter and her family living in outback Qld, I have seen first hand the remarkable and essential work that the RFDS does and this is why I am pounding the pavement this October.
My goal is to raise $500. Will you help me do that, please? Any amount would be fantastic and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help.
Warmest regards,
Maureen
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...
1
Laryngoscopes – used to assist in intubating and ventilating a patient.
1
Life-saving medical chests for a remote, rural or regional community.
1
Defibrillator Pads – used with a machine to monitor a patient’s cardiac health.
