Why I'm walking

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

I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

I'm fundraising for Royal Flying Doctor Service 🚁🩺 


Australia is a big country, and for those living in rural and remote 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. My goal is clock up to 98kms throughout the challenge (and maybe a little more). By going further, I hope to raise as much as possible for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).


This cause is especially meaningful to me as I’m currently in my final year of my Nursing and Paramedicine degree (and VERY close to finishing!!). Throughout my studies, I’ve seen just how important timely access to healthcare is and how much harder that can be for people living outside of major cities. The work the RFDS does to bridge that gap is pretty incredible.  


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. Any donation, big or small, would mean a lot ++ it would give me extra motivation to get all those kms in !! 


Annnd if doing a good deed isn’t convincing enough .. donations over $2 are tax deductible! Sooo really, you can help me support the RFDS and make a financially responsible decision. 


It’s a win-win! 


Jokes aside, I would really appreciate it if you could please donate to my challenge today!
