I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

On the 29th of May, I got a phone call that no partner ever wants to get, "There's been an accident. It's serious"... 

My husband, Mike, was on a charity motorbike ride and was planning to travel 3274 km from Canberra to Port Douglas when he came off his bike just south of Blackall, QLD. He was in a serious condition and needed to get to a major hospital quickly. 

The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) picked him up at Blackall airfield and flew him to Toowoomba base hospital, where he stayed for the next 11 days. 

To thank them, we're pledging to raise as much as we can by walking 900 km this October , the distance they flew to get him to the care he desperately needed. 

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.

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!
