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).

This is my second Oceans to Outback and this year I aim to complete all my kilometres by running them - a month long marathon!

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
I’ve helped provide...

Life-saving medical chests image

7km to go!

Friday 25th Oct
We are at day 25 of the challenge and for a minute there I thought I had fallen behind thanks to night shift and illnesses, but now the end is definitely in reach after knocking out 6km this morning.

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me this year - I know times are tough but every little bit helps and I'm grateful for your support.

If you would like to support me, please donate what you are able - any donation over $2 is tax deductible!
