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
As you all know, I'm a country girl, who has lived in many different parts of Western Australia.
In each town I have worked mostly in Health, picking up injured from roadsides, looking after critically injured or unwell patients. Most who ultimately rely on RFDS, and St John Ambulance, to ferry these patients onto tertiary care in Perth.
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

Life-saving medical chests for a remote, rural or regional community.
