Fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service again!
Last year I signed up to the October Royal Flying Doctor (RFDS) fundraising challenge and then encountered a hiccup - I got unexpectedly crook and my local hospital in Kingaroy referred me for emergency surgery at Toowoomba at the end of September. Bugger!
It was only two hours to Toowoomba, but for some communities, the nearest hospital is eight hours drive away. And if it was really urgent I would have been medivacced by air.
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. They and I would be delighted if you donated to my challenge today.
So far this year
I’ve helped provide...

9
Laryngoscopes – used to assist in intubating and ventilating a patient.

6
Life-saving medical chests for a remote, rural or regional community.

5
Defibrillator Pads – used with a machine to monitor a patient’s cardiac health.
