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!

RFDS make a huge difference to our small town here in Woomelang, by providing access to Telehealth Specialist services such as Respiratory Physicians, Endocrinologist, Paediatrician and many more.

Without this service, most rural patients would be without appropriate or accessible health care.

We are grateful to have our lovely Dr Manuell attend to Woomelang every 3 months for patient care, again difficult to access in rural areas, thankfully RFDS make this possible and what a massive impact it has had for our community and such a pleasure to be part of.. 

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