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 cause is very close to my heart! In 2022 when I was pregnant with my son Jorge & living on Hamilton Island, I was told at a regular pregnancy check up that I was not to return home due to being at high risk of pre term labour. I was flown to Townsville the next day, emotional & overwhelmed. Without the care & support from The Royal Flying Doctor Service, I would have been lost. I was comforted as well as given prompt medical attention by their wonderful staff & am so grateful for all of their thankless help. Without this cause in our regional towns, many families in need of immediate attention would struggle greatly!
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!
