Why I'm walking
To raise money for the flying doctor for all the regional patients they help and save.
Donate now >>I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service
At the end of may I was injured in a forklift accident in the Pilbara, breaking my femur, tibia and disconnecting my ACL. I was airlifted to Perth by Royal flying doctor for surgery.
A month later my good friend gave birth and her and her baby were also transported by the Royal flying doctor.
Our medical facilities in the Pilbara are limited, and the Royal flying doctor provides life saving services year round, here and across the country.
Would love to use my experience as an opportunity to help support them.
Thanks team 🤘🏼
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!
So far this year
I’ve helped provide...
221
Laryngoscopes – used to assist in intubating and ventilating a patient.
138
Life-saving medical chests for a remote, rural or regional community.
127
Defibrillator Pads – used with a machine to monitor a patient’s cardiac health.

Well done babe, especially on a broken leg. Royal flying doctors saved my dad's life twice when he worked underground in the mines and had lungs collapse so this is very dear to my heart.
