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...

17

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

11

Life-saving medical chests for a remote, rural or regional community.

10

Defibrillator Pads – used with a machine to monitor a patient’s cardiac health.

My Why....

Wednesday 16th Oct

I love to run, so running for a great cause this month is perfect! I'm also a Mum of a 17-year-old daughter, with newly diagnosed anaphylaxis. When your child has an allergic reaction to food or possibly environmental factors, causing their airways to close over and their face to swell being almost unrecognizable, you want to know urgent medical attention is available and fast. For us this time we are fortunate enough to have advice on hand over the phone and a hospital only a 7-minute drive away. For many others who experience this same nightmare, imagine being hours away from a hospital. We wouldn't want to live without our Rural GPs and the Royal Flying Doctors Service in rural areas. We will run 81kms and fundraise for October and beyond to keep the wind under the RFDS wings.
