Simpson Desert Bike Challenge - 2026
In October im challenging myself to ride the Simpson Desert Bike Race. A 500km, 5 Day bike race through the sand dunes of the Simpson Desert.
Why?? I like the idea of training for a goal and pushing myself both physically and mentally. The kicker though was the opportunity to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. A service that helped myself and my parents some 44 years ago, flying a new born and his scared 1st time parents to specialist treatment in Adelaide.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service can respond at a moment’s notice for people living, working, and travelling in remote, rural and regional areas in Australia.
Last year alone, the RFDS reached more than 330,000 Australians with 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary health care. That’s one person every two minutes!
The Flying Doctor is always on call to help and save lives, and that’s why I’m asking you to chip in to and help the RFDS to provide the finest care to the furthest corner.
Go on. Please donate now towards my fundraiser, and let’s see how high our tally can fly.
My impact
So far, my fundraising could help…
Provide a full range of life saving medication such as sedatives, pain relief and antibiotics so the Flying Doctor can be ready for 3 emergency situations.
Send 1 life saving-medical chest to remote communities
Provide one on one counselling to 1 outback Australians during a difficult time
Purchase 0 pieces of equipment that could include ventilators, defibrillators and infusion pumps which are used on board flights
