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 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
I’ve helped provide...
8
Laryngoscopes – used to assist in intubating and ventilating a patient.
5
Life-saving medical chests for a remote, rural or regional community.
5
Defibrillator Pads – used with a machine to monitor a patient’s cardiac health.

Wellness is a state of mind
Wednesday 4th SepWellness is a state of mind, and, as a person with multiple chronic health conditions, much like Billy Joel in his 1976 classic pining for his beloved New York, I have spent decades pining for wellness. This year I have made a concerted effort, and great strides, toward this goal. Oceans to Outback is another part of this journey. It is a privilege to be able to help the remarkable organisation that is the RFDS in my pursuit for wellness and your donation will support both of us. Will walking every day cure me? No. Will I ever be pain free? Again, no. However, walking everyday is doing great things for my blood pressure and overall sense of well-being. I feel better, have more energy for my grandsons, and when someone asks, “how are you?” I can honestly say “I am well, thank you.”
