I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

We are doing this for Arlen and other babies like him. As you all know earlier this year I was airlifted down to Perth from our regional town, Geraldton, when my waters broke at 29weeks3days gestation due to PPROM. I contracted sepsis and had to deliver Arlen at 29weeks5days. Without the RFDS team god only knows what would have happened to our sweet little Arlen. 

Arlen spent 8.5weeks in the NICU in Perth before we returned to Geraldton, where two weeks later RFDS airlifted him back to Perth for an emergency Pyloric Stenosis Surgery as he wasn’t keeping any fluids down and losing weight rapidly. 

 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!
