Ride with purpose

Go the distance for remote Australia

Every kilometre you ride helps keep the Flying Doctor flying.

As a cyclist, you know that every ride starts with a destination. For the Royal Flying Doctor Service, every flight has one too. Each day, RFDS crews travel thousands of kilometres across Australia to reach people who may be hundreds of kilometres from the nearest hospital.

This October, every kilometre you ride and every dollar you raise will help keep the Flying Doctor flying and provide care for anyone who lives, works or travels in remote, rural or regional Australia.
