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

Progress, not perfect

Sunday 26th Oct
It hasn't been the best stretch of running for me, between returning from injury gradually (to avoid re-injury) and getting a little unwell. But I will do what I can to reach that goal!

My focus is on the fundraising – that's what matters, because that is the part of the challenge that makes a difference to all the people living in parts of Australia without ready access to tertiary hospitals, trauma care, specialists, and all the diagnostic services we take for granted in big cities.

Even the smallest donations help – can you give a little?

Flying start!

Thursday 2nd Oct
Oceans to Outback started yesterday, timed perfectly to coincide with my return to running after a few months off. My distance goal this year seems big and scary as a result, even though it is much smaller than in previous years. I'm offsetting that with a big goal for fundraising.

I know this can be a tough time of year as we sail toward Christmas, but EVERY donation counts - yes, even the small ones, because they all add up to pay for essential services provided by the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

I hope you can be a part of my journey!
