Why I'm riding
I think we can all appreciate how hard it can be sometimes to find Good medical care (and riding out the waitlists) in Canberra and even Sydney. Imagine how much harder it is in rural Australia

________
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 is my first time fundraising since *reads notes* Steptember in 2018(? and we don't remember how that went at all for a reason). I thought 247kms seemed doable since the distance is covered if I ride to work. Then I remembered that I don't go into the office every day. Then I also remembered I won't have my bike with me in the last week of October. And that it is swooping season. Despite these issues I decided to persist. It is a good chance to take a step back and appreciate access to decent health care. Scroll down to see updates on how I'm going. Please support the $$ goal so I am compelled to meet your expectations!
Please note despite the name "Oceans to outback" it is entirely metaphorical and I will be doing no such thing (unless...?). I will try to post some pictures of my rides even if it is just a different angle of Lake Burley Griffin or the Parliamentary Triangle every time.
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. wow
Let's keep the Flying Doctor flying and continue their life-saving work.
Thanks for stopping by
