Why I'm walking

I'm walking this October to save lives and help more Australians access essential healthcare.

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!

So far this year

My own little experience’s

Saturday 19th Sep
I’m doing this as I have been a recipient of this most valuable service The Royal Flying Doctor Service on several occasions.
My first flight was when I went into premature labour with my daughter. They got me to Perth in time to see specialists and I in turn managed to carry my daughter to full term. 
My 2nd,3rd and 4th flight was for purely other reasons. RFDS got me there and I’m here today because of them, the staff in Derby Hospital and Royal Perth Hospital. All special people who have my utmost respect. Forever grateful. I’m one of the lucky ones. I do know I will need them again one day so…. 
Please whatever you can donate is much appreciated not just for myself but for the many in regional/remote areas that need lifesaving care ASAP. 
Thank you in advance 😘
