Final Day

We are currently ranked 10th in Australia for our fundraising efforts and have completed over 1500km of walking/running/riding. 
We are trying to rally for the last day and raise as much as we can. 
The RFDS is such an integral service not only for those that live in rural and remote areas but those who travel to those areas as tourists. The RFDS is the only way you can access healthcare in many of the sightseeing areas in remote Australia. Please think about donating to the RFDS if you have ever hitched your caravan and travelled throughout Australia. 

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
