Why I'm walking
I'm walking this October to save lives and help more Australians access essential healthcare.
Donate now >>Halfway There — and Almost at My New Fundraising Goal! 💙
I've passed the 50% mark for my 120 km walking goal this October! 🎉The RFDS Oceans to Outback Challenge Begins! ✈️
Today is the first day of the RFDS Oceans to Outback Challenge! ✈️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...
43
Laryngoscopes – used to assist in intubating and ventilating a patient.
27
Life-saving medical chests for a remote, rural or regional community.
25
Defibrillator Pads – used with a machine to monitor a patient’s cardiac health.
