I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

When I was born I had a hole in my heart. Fortunately for me my parents were able to drive me to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. If we lived in a remote area of Australia my parents would’ve relied on the RFDS. So I’m joining and supporting my friends Eloise and Kiara in the Ocean to Outback walk as it is close to their hearts and they are close to mine.

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
