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

The paragraphs below are all excellent reasons to support me (and the RFDS), but this year Baby Sheep is going to be doing the heavy lifting (I hope). So long as I remember to put my smart watch on his recently acquired necklace regularly, he'll be logging the kms for this walk, but I'm not sure how far a largely sedentary, slightly fat, middle aged Merino wether will actually walk, so if he looks like falling short, I (also middle aged etc, etc....) might have to help him out!  

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!
