I’m racing across a desert… 🐪

Ok, so it’s happening. And I still haven’t mentally registered that I’m going to be there…
Each year a small group of intrepid cyclists set off across the Simpson Desert, tackling 2 gruelling stages a day to cover the 500km’s of baked dunes of the Mulga-Thirri.
Those days will not just see the cyclists pushing themselves, but it will see a whole dedicated crew coming together to support their loved ones, mates, friends and family in this insane endeavour. Arguably, they’re the ones who this challenge should honour - but maybe that’s a story for another day. In the meantime, the pursuit of the challenge calls — as does the hope that we can contribute a little to the flying angels that work across the most remote places in the world.
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!
If you’ve got a spare penny, these guys could sure use it. Cheers.

Send 32 life saving-medical chest to remote communities

Provide one on one counselling to 20 outback Australians during a difficult time

Purchase 13 pieces of equipment that could include ventilators, defibrillators and infusion pumps which are used on board flights
