This October Alex and I are choosing to fundraise for Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS)

Early in my midwifery studies a family friend gave me a book about midwives experiences supporting women in the outback alongside RFDS. This book not only inspired me to continue my studies but highlighted the important roll the RFDS play for so many women living in rural and remote Australia without access to adequate maternity care. 

Australia is a big country, and for those living in rural and remote areas, access to immediate care isn’t a guarantee. For some communities, the nearest hospital is eight hours drive away. Every year, the RFDS reach more than 330,000 Australians with 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary healthcare services. 

As a team our goal is to walk 175km, in hopes to raise $1,000. Please consider donating to support our charity walk for the Royal Flying Doctor Service — every bit helps save lives!
