I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service
Some people know about our family's experience with the Royal Flying Doctors but for those that don’t know when my oldest son, was a 11 he was hit by a car out the front of our house when we were living in Emerald (Central Qld). He ended up in an induced coma and was flown from Emerald to Brisbane by the Royal Flying Doctors. I know what it feels like to be strapped into a plane with your child very unwell beside you. I can’t quite explain the relief (and dread) and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. For that reason I am aiming to walk 150 klms in October to raise money for the RFDS. We never in a million years thought we'd need them but were so glad to see that plane coming down the tarmac all those years ago.
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 fitness challenge to help more people access the care they need. By going further, 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!
So far this year

Laryngoscopes – used to assist in intubating and ventilating a patient.
