Why I'm walking

I'm walking 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 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

Officially starts October 1st.

Even a "cuppa" donation of a few dollars helps.

So 'buy a drink' for the flying doctors please, it's tax deductible over $2.

This is the fifth year of the Ocean to Outback challenge, and I've been here from the first :) 

It's not a great time of year for me...my Asthma frequently flairs up during October unfortunately.

Still, every year I set the goal to show up and try. 

Every body counts, and my efforts, although small, boost the big picture efforts of the collective team of people participating in and driving the challenge. 

The flying doctors do so much, and have such a generational history of being infused in the Australian rural community. 

Thanks for reading, please help by sharing and encouraging others.
