Why I'm walking

Some of you may remember that I needed the assistance of the RFDS after an accident while camping at Karijini National Park last year. I was airlifted from the Pilbara to Karratha as a precaution and thankfully avoided any serious injury. The experience gave me a firsthand appreciation of the incredible work the RFDS does for people living, working and travelling in remote Australia.

Every day, RFDS crews provide critical emergency aeromedical care, patient transfers and healthcare services across some of the most isolated parts of the country. For many Australians, they are quite literally a lifeline.

If you're able to, I'd be grateful for your support. Every contribution helps ensure the RFDS can continue providing these vital services to those who need them most.

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!
