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. I’d really appreciate it if you could please donate to my challenge today!

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

68

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

42

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

39

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

Last day 31st october

Friday 31st Oct

Well today is the last day of fundraising and what a blast it has been 💥 Raised $2,384 and walked 375km with one more walk to come this evening🚶‍♂️ It’s been an absolute privilege to be part of this journey and I couldn’t have done it without my wonderful sponsors. A massive thank you to each and every one that has contributed 💰, from the $10 donations to the $520 donation and everything else in between. I (and ultimately the RFDS) have been blessed and I’m very thankful for this amazing opportunity to give back to such a worthy cause 👍 😃

Frenchville walking track

Tuesday 28th Oct

The end is in sight and thanks to my amazing donors I’ve achieved my km goal as well as my Fundraising goal. Three days left to see if I can hit $2.5k in contributions and 350km in distance walked. Thanks so much to all those who’ve contributed, your efforts have spurred me on and made a significant difference to keep the Royal Flying Doctor aircraft where they should be “in the air” 🛩️

The RFDS work tirelessly to save lives.

These planes are the lifeblood of the outback community, even for those of us that need to get from Rockhampton to Brisbane for cardiac care 😉

Kershaw Gardens Walking

Wednesday 17th Sep

🌴Very peaceful walking through the Daintree Forest this evening, beautiful palms, gurgling stream and then Zeke woke me up with “hey mate, we’re still in Rocky”. Oh well, we enjoyed our walk at Kershaw Gardens 😉 Hard at it, training for the upcoming fundraising challenge during the month of October for the #RFDS Sharon joins me for my walks now which is great🚶

This is a little pic of my training. I’m raising funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Ready to give it another crack this year during the month of October and up the ante a bit more from last year. Apparently I’m only allowed to do a max of 60kmh 😉
