All this while exceeding his fundraising goal for the Royal Flying Doctors.
Will’s Mongol Derby adventure was born from the desire to challenge himself and raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Will set out to raise $10,000 which he had managed to do before he left and has now raised $13,695 dollars for this organisation that is close to his heart.
“A lot of my work is done in western Queensland and they had picked up my dad and flew him to Brisbane after he cut off his fingers” Will said.
“They provide a vital service to ringers in western Queensland and have picked up some of my friends when it would have taken a vehicle a day to get there to help,” Will said.
Will and his competitors have traveled 1000 km race through Mongolia on horseback, more details to come.
Will said he felt encouragedin his journey by the generosity of his sponsors, especially given the widespread drought that still grips many places in Queensland.
