Why I'm walking

I'm walking this October to save lives and help more Australians access essential healthcare.

Day 3 - Emerald Lakes

Did a loop around Emerald Lakes today as too much school holiday traffic heading to the beach and not quite enough time spare to sit in that traffic.

Day 2 - Main Beach Tower 42 - Tower 39

Waffles the senior dog came along today for a gentle amble along the paths by the beach, clocked up 3.3kms before he said that’s enough now mum

Day 1 - The Spit - Tower 46 to Tower 42

The Mission: To walk past every Lifeguard Tower on the Gold Coast beaches, with or without Harley and Waffles. Today began at the top car park at The Spit, to the first beach tower, Tower 46, down to Tower 42 near Seaworld and back again, with Mr Harley Beans supervising. 7.4kms done, happy hydrated hound, we are off to a good start! From now on if one or both of the dogs are with me, I’ll park in the middle of the planned route, go up a bit to the previous end point, back down to the final tower for the day then back up to the halfway point where the car is, because apparently doggos cannot hop on the tram back to the car. 🚃

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!

Day 4 - Main Beach to Surfers - Tower 39 to Tower 34

Friday 9th Oct
Took a trip through the GC500 track today on the way to park in Surfers, walk back up the beach to Tower 39 then down to Tower 34 at Cavill Ave. Nice breezy 5kms completed just before the parking meter ran out so unfortunately there wasn't time to sit and admire the view. No sandy paws attending either, as there's no dogs at all on the beach through Surfers, from just north of View Avenue down to Clifford Street.
