I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service
My Why?
In 2013 my husband survived an out of hospital cardiac arrest.
It was thanks to the work of some wonderful community bystanders, the local St John Volunteer crew, paramedic crew and the RFDS for getting him to where he needed to be as soon as possible.
I have since become a volunteer for St John and hopefully this fundraising venture can be my small way of giving back to the RFDS 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...

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

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