I'm fundraising for remote and rural Queenslanders doing it tough

We know first hand that doing it tough in the bush means doing it extra tough, because people in remote, rural and regional Queensland don’t have the same access to medical and/or professional mental health services and support. For many, the Flying Doctor is the only option. 

I am challenging myself (and whoever wishes to join me) to walk 3km a day in March because this service is vital! Being locked in by water for months means that even the 6 hr drive for medical and mental health services is not an option! Leaving flying as our only option, and this is where RFDS is absolutely critical! 

Together we can keep the Flying Doctor flying, delivering 3 major mental health programs (Drought Wellbeing, Remote Wellbeing, Wellbeing Out West) and providing critical access to emergency medical services to regional, rural and remote Queensland.

Please donate to my challenge today if you can! I know it’s tough times out there financially for everyone so no pressure, raising awareness of this service is just as crucial!
