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
I’ve helped provide...
16
Laryngoscopes – used to assist in intubating and ventilating a patient.
10
Life-saving medical chests for a remote, rural or regional community.
9
Defibrillator Pads – used with a machine to monitor a patient’s cardiac health.

My Updates
Life Saver 21 Oct 2024
Saturday 3rd OctMonday 21st October - morning started like any other, until I woke with pain in my chest.
What followed was a day I’ll never forget—an ambulance to Whyalla Hospital, hours of tests and consultations with the Royal Adelaide Hospital, another ambulance to the airport, a fast, low flight with the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and then straight to RAH with lights and sirens.
The medical team moved quickly, and I ended up having two stents inserted.
Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful to the GP, ambulance crews, Whyalla Hospital, the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and the amazing doctors, nurses and surgical team at RAH.
So many people played a part in getting me through that day. I’m very thankful to be here.
