Why I'm walking

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

Donate now >>

Inspired by my brother.

2017 my brother had a life threatening injury, This inspired myself to join RFDS oceans to Outback challenge after he was flown to Adelaide for treatment. Since then I have challenged myself for the past 3 years to complete the oceans to Outback challenge and loved it.

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
