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...

Laryngoscopes image

137

Laryngoscopes – used to assist in intubating and ventilating a patient.

Life-saving medical chests image

86

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

Defibrillator Pads

78

Defibrillator Pads – used with a machine to monitor a patient’s cardiac health.

Thank you to my supporters

Day 4.

Saturday 4th Oct
I'm in admiration of the Whyalla RFDS ground crew, cooking up a storm every Saturday & Sunday morning outside of little Woolies. Ps So I thought it was befitting to finnish of my extra long ride with them. ( Unforrunately my Strava didn't register, so I entered km's manually ✅_ _ 🚴‍♀️_ _ _ )

Let the fun begin 🐕🚶‍♀️🦆🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚴‍♂️

Wednesday 1st Oct
Thank you  to all of you for your support, donations and participation  in team " Why Not! ", 💖 in Mums memory and fundraising for the RFDS ✈
