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 walking challenge to help more people access the care they need. By doing this, 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! I intend to start walking straight away but will only log my steps during October.
So far this year
I’ve helped provide...
11
Laryngoscopes – used to assist in intubating and ventilating a patient.
7
Life-saving medical chests for a remote, rural or regional community.
6
Defibrillator Pads – used with a machine to monitor a patient’s cardiac health.
Thank you to my supporters

Sunday 29th SepChange of Recording method 16 Sept 2024
Monday 16th Sep I have had trouble with Strava recording my walking distances, it registers on my phone but not on my OTO page, so I have downloaded the Oceans to Outback app on my Apple iphone and we'll see how it goes..... need to get it sorted before the real test starts on October 1st ShareBella has an OTO bandana
Saturday 7th SepMy daily walks
Tuesday 3rd Sep I have been recording my walks on Strava, which I love and it makes it so easy, but the annual subs is too much for me so I will be doing manual recording from now on. ShareGetting a little easier
Thursday 29th Aug Walking is doing me good - my left hip was getting really stiff and sore, but since I started walking regularly again I am managing to do the whole walk without having to sit down halfway. By the time the chanllenge starts on October 1st I'll be fit as a fiddle lol ShareThank you to my Sponsors
