I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

This October, I'm taking on a month long fitness challenge to run 81km to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS)! This represents 1km for every aircraft the RFDS have in their fleet.

Australia is a big country, and for those living in remote, rural and regional areas, access to immediate care isn’t a guarantee. I have seen firsthand how important the services provided by the RFDS can be when the care needed is not available close by.

Now for some statistics:

Did you know that for some communities, the nearest hospital is eight hours drive away?

Or that 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!
