💙 I’m Taking on 42KM for the Flying Doctor! ✈️🚶‍♀️

I’m officially taking part in Oceans to Outback 2026! 💙✈️ Throughout October, I’ll be challenging myself to walk 42KM to help raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. I’ve set myself a $500 fundraising goal, and I’m really excited to get started! 🥰 Every kilometre I walk and every dollar raised will be supporting the incredible work the Flying Doctor does for people living in rural and remote communities across Australia. 🇦🇺❤️ I’ll be posting updates here throughout the challenge so you can follow my progress as I work my way towards 42KM! 🚶‍♀️💪 Thank you so much to everyone who donates, shares my page or supports me along the way. It genuinely means a lot. 💙 42KM here I come! 😂🚶‍♀️💨✈️

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!
