I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

Last year Phil’s surgery in Sydney was harder than it had to be because we were away from home and our support system (and dogs!). It was such an ordeal to get Qantas to accept him as a passenger for our trip home, as well physically demanding on both of us. 

When Phil was so sick in October and November, and whilst we waited for his second surgery at RBWH, I was so grateful that we have such wonderful hospitals, doctors, nurses and allied health professionals in our home town. Many of the patients Phil shared a room with were from up north and the RFDS was how many of them got to Brisbane and I get so lucky that I could drive home each night, and that Phil had lots of visitors. 

Queensland is a big state, 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 March, I’m challenging myself to do 50 squats a day 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). Please support me!
