Outback Air Race 2018

Donation protected
Hello Friends, I am about to set of on an adventure to help raise funds for people in the Australian Outback who need medical attention but are in such remote areas that they would have to travel hundreds of miles to get treatment.  My good friend Tony Mitchell told me about this fundraising event  in which he and his two  friends Lenny and Mal have participated in the last 2 events. When one of the team members had to drop out and I was asked to join I jumped at the opportunity. I hope to raise my portion of our team effort with is 2000 Australian dollars, our team hopes to raise 6000 Australian dollars or more if we are lucky.  I leave for Brisbane Australia on August 14th and I'm hoping that to meet my goal before then.  All of the money goes directly to the cause, none of this money will fund my expenses to get to and to participate in this event. Anything you can donate to help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance... Siobhan


WHAT IS THE OUTBACK AIR RACE?
The Outback Air Race is a GPS-based navigation time trial throughout the remote Australian outback. In 2018 we will host 102 competitors in 42 aircraft, in which pilots nominate an elapsed time between two visual waypoints, receiving points for both time and location accuracy.

The Outback Air Race exists to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia. Since 1996 competitors and spectators have raised over $2.1 million, with funds from each race going towards outfitting RFDS aircraft with essential medical equipment, vital for treating sick and injured patients.

The Outback Air Race is held every three years with the next event being held from Sunday 19th August until Friday 31st August 2018. Starting in Archerfield, near Brisbane, QLD, and finishing in Broome, WA
