This week marks Include a Charity Week, a special time when we highlight the profound impact of legacy giving.
We’re celebrating the extraordinary impact of caring people like you who ensure the Flying Doctor will always be there for those who need us most. It’s a time to reflect on how we can make a lasting difference in the lives of others.
Did you know it was a Gift in Will that enabled our first Flying Doctor aircraft, the Victory, to take that first flight on 17th May 1928?
After seeing the daily struggle of people living in the outback, Reverend John Flynn had a vision to provide a ‘mantle of safety’ for the people of the bush.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service in Queensland is built on Flynn’s vision, but it was a gift left in the Will of Flynn’s friend, Hugh McKay, that enabled Flynn to lease our very first Flying Doctor aircraft that took to the air in 1928.
When you leave a gift in your Will to the Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section), you’re not only supporting an organisation that saves lives – you’re also becoming part of the Flying Doctor story.
Let me tell you a little about Pearl, a remarkable woman who cares deeply for others. Like you, she wants everyone to have access to vital health care. She cherishes the opportunity in ensuring the Flying Doctor will always be there, touching lives across our remote landscapes.
“I’ve always been a country person,” Pearl shares. “It feels good to support the Flying Doctor. I believe if we all helped each other, there wouldn’t be the pickle that’s around the place sometimes.”
Pearl has witnessed first-hand the profound impact the Flying Doctor has on individuals and families across Queensland. By including a gift in your Will, you can join Pearl in ensuring that families can rely on us for generations to come.
