Why I'm running
Anyone who knows me knows that I am definitely NOT a runner!
But the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) is a cause worth pushing my limits for. The RFDS has supported my family throughout my life, providing everything from prenatal care, immunisations and remote clinic services to after-hours medical advice and emergency support when it's needed most.
For people living in regional and remote Australia, the RFDS is more than a healthcare provider. It's a lifeline, delivering essential medical services, critical retrieval flights and vital community support.
The incredible RFDS teams are there 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. To support their work, I'm taking on my fourth consecutive fundraising challenge and increasing my distance again this year.
Every donation helps keep the Royal Flying Doctor Flying.
Thank you for your support.
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
