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 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!

My Updates

No bike, new goal?

Sunday 4th Oct
Originally I wanted to cycle most of the kilometres this month. But since I spontaneously returned to Australia I'm not sure I'll even have access to a bike.... The goal was 1060 km which comes out to 34 kilometres per day. Am I stubborn enough to try and reach that anyway? Sure thing! So I'm changing my counting strategy. Whatever my watch says I walked that day, accumulated over all the little walks from a to b will also be taken into account, and I'll try and get access to a bike to at least do the odd big ride to get some kilometres out of the way. If I notice it's becoming impossible I will consider changing my goal but for now it'll just be my biggest October challenge yet!
