Day 5!

Rainy day didn’t stop me today!

So what is the Rotary E-Club of Western Australia (also known as E-WA Rotary) and why are we raising funds for Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia? E-WA Rotary is one of the member clubs of global humanitarian and volunteer organisation Rotary International. For more than 100 years, Rotary has been delivering projects to support health, education, environment and more, via the grassroots effort of volunteers. E-WA Rotary is a modern Rotary club that organises online, but turns up in person when it matters. People choose our way of being part of Rotary for lots of reasons - caring commitments, regional isolation, frequent travel, flexibility, convenience. It's a format that helps us make a greater difference. We chose to support the RFDS Oceans to Outback challenge this month because here in WA, we are closely connected to regional communities. E-WA Rotary has members in Kununurra, Newman, Bruce Rock, Kalgoorlie, Margaret River, Esperance and more. Many of our members based in Perth have country upbringing or connections like me. If you want to keep our RFDS flying, please donate. And ask us how you can find a Rotary club that suits you!

Gorgeous evening on the foreshore

no wind this evening on the Esperance Foreshore 🙌

Fitright

The weather was against us today, but I rarely miss my FitRight exercise class, and there are clever calculators that can convert exercise effort to distance! I’m reminded of how incredible the RFDS pilots are, who often have to take off and land in really challenging circumstances. They need the best training and equipment to do their job, so please donate now!

Day 2

Recovering from surgery so just managed a walk around the ward.

Day 2

Squeezed in a quickie before the weather hits! 3.3kms

Back out there!

I’m a regular walker but I went into hibernation mode in winter and this RFDS challenge has been the best motivation to get back out there! Good for my health and for the people in regional Australia the fundraiser will help.

Started!

first walk, a quick after work walk to the beach!

Day 1

5.6km today. Such a perfect day.

We're 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, we're taking on a month-long fitness challenge to help more people access the care they need. By going further, we 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 our challenge today!

Thank you to our supporters
