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, every dollar counts!

So far this year
I’ve helped provide...

29

Laryngoscopes – used to assist in intubating and ventilating a patient.

18

Life-saving medical chests for a remote, rural or regional community.

17

Defibrillator Pads – used with a machine to monitor a patient’s cardiac health.

As you can see the commitment of many and generosity of those donating goes a long way to support the important work the RFDS do. Let's ensure we keep them flying!

A mixed bag this weekend!

Sunday 5th Oct

Day 4 - 2Km's Rest Day!! My brothers 70th birthday! walked a couple of Km's but pretty much a day off! Not much to report. Catch up Day today!! Day 5 - 6.5Km's Back on track! Around Central Park again, back into the Mavern East back streets, an ended up come home via Hedgely Dene which was very peaceful.

Getting in the swing!

Sunday 5th Oct

Day 3 - 6.9Km's and so far on track! In Mebourne for my brother's birthday, so very different ladscape to Sydney. Spinning around Central Park Malvern East, which has a fair bit of the path blocked off for maintenance. So ended up walking the streets which was very nice. Some beautiful grand old homes and gardens. Hit my daily goal, but still struggling a little with coughing from pneumonia. I missed taking pics, so added a couple from today. Onward and upward!! Cheers Nick

Tough start

Thursday 2nd Oct

Day 2 and fending off Pneumonia which is not great. Timing...shocking!! anyway, taking it slowly and should be back in full swing next week all going well. That said, pretty close on target so far but early days. Thanks for your support! Cheers Nick
