Why I'm riding

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

Donate now >>

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 more than eight hours drive away.

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! 

I am fortunate enough to have had amazing opportunities to visit beautiful remote communities and I have two kids living in the Kimberley. Knowing the amazing people from the Flying Doxtors are sufficiently resourced and available to provide such essential services in the regions provides peace of mind! 

This October I am cycling 247km - which represents the RFSD commitment to 24/7 service - and raising funds for the RFDS.

Together, we can keep the Flying Doctor flying and continue their life-saving work. Please donate to my challenge today!
