Simpson Desert Bike Challenge - 2026
Hi.
Thanks for supporting me by donating to the Royal Flying Doctors Service.
I'm racing in 40th edition of the Simpson Desert Challenge, a 500km bicycle race over the Simpson Desert that operates as a fundraiser for the RFDS. I appreciate your interest in my self- indulgent endeavour!
The race will be from 29th Sept to 3rd October and consists of 2 stages each day. It is a tough race, so I need to put in some serious training- but that is nothing compared to the challenges faced delivering health services to remote communities.
What I'm doing on my bike or even in my 28 years as a Rural Generalist is nothing compared to the immensity of the support the RFDS provide to remote Australians, not only for emergencies but as a key provider of primary health services to rural and remote Australians.
As a charitable organization, they can only continue through the generosity of people like yourselves.
Please support me by supporting the RFDS with your donations.
Thank you!
Dr Rob
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 31 emergency situations.
Send 16 life saving-medical chest to remote communities
Provide one on one counselling to 10 outback Australians during a difficult time
Purchase 6 pieces of equipment that could include ventilators, defibrillators and infusion pumps which are used on board flights
Thank you to my supporters
