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.

Last year I went on two RFDS flights to get me and my unborn baby to, first, Broome hospital and then on to King Edward's in Perth. This allowed me to get the care we needed to eventually bring my baby home. 

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

141

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

Life-saving medical chests image

88

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

Defibrillator Pads

81

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

Thank you to my supporters

Watching from the sidelines, it’s been absolutely heart-wrenching, and as a mum myself I can’t begin to imagine the strength it’s taken for you all to get through what you have. I’m so relieved and grateful to hear that your little man is on the up now – what a fighter he is, and what an incredible family he has around him. I’ve made a small donation towards your amazing 97km run for RFD. It doesn’t feel like much compared to what you’ve endured, but I hope it helps in some way to give back. Cheering you on every step of the way and sending so much love to you, Artie, and the whole family. With love and admiration Tara x
