Why I'm walking

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

Sheep

The neighbours have sheep in the pens today. I wonder at my jobs are on their list. I also thank them for the $50 donation today!

Fire track hill

We changed course and went up the fire track whilst there enjoyed the view under the tree. A little bit PnP

Windy and hitting the 5 k a day

So it’s time to crack on with 5 k every day to hit the target and get back to a former habit! Windy head wind on the first 2.5 and a reverse push homewards. Lovely. Plus I had company. My girls x

Walking into a head wind

Walking into a head wind at the end of a walk to cool off and stretch into each step knowing that breakfast is next 🥳. Porridge and a cup of tea on my sixtieth birthday. Great start to the sixties!!!!

Warmer in the morning

Now it’s getting warmer I think I’ll need to walk earlier or an evening stroll. Maybe both 🤔 Diggers this morning ☀️

Breezy and difficult

This mornings walk was gorgeous with all the pelicans but really hard with a strong breeze off of lake yarli My hips are aching today but it was good to change the scenery for a walk. So easy to get bored in the same route and my fave is all wind blown 😆 Water 💦 views!!!

Ready to walk 87 k

In two days I’ll start the 87 k walk for RFDS I’ll start with bigger walks to Ensure I get the whole amount done ✔️. I do have a plane day in the end of October so I’ll need to Account for that ….. 3 k a day should see it through but I’m aiming for 4 k a day to be sure!! Thanks to my donators xxx

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!

Last year They helped my brother in law access the big city hospital by flying him up and saving his life.

So many  in the south east have used this absolutely vital service and I am here to support this vital service and say thanks. 

Together my sister and I will walk and reflect xxx and increase our fitness as a bonus.

So far this year
I’ve helped provide...
