Why I'm walking
I’ve decided to take on the RFDS Oceans to Outback challenge because the Royal Flying Doctor Service isn't just an organization to my family, they are our lifeline. Over the years, the RFDS has been there for us in our most critical moments, transporting my sister to Adelaide for emergency surgery, flying my niece Ella to Adelaide when she needed urgent care for her diabetes, and rushing to my mum's aid when she broke her femur. Living in regional and remote areas, having that medical safety net is everything. By walking these kilometres, I want to give back to the service that has looked after my family time and time again, and help ensure they can keep flying for other outback communities when they need them most.
Donate now >>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!
