I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

Swimming with The Whale Sharks didn’t end up how I thought it would! I ended up at Exmouth Hospital and needing to be flown to Perth. The scenery is spectacular, but the distance is real, and so is the risk. Without the RFDS, a heart episode in a town like Exmouth isn't a health scare — it's a race against geography that most people would lose. They're not a backup plan out there. They're the only plan.

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!
