RACGP Foundation: Foundation Pathway

It would seem people who work in Australian healthcare tend to welcome a challenge. When discussing their reasons behind participating in the RACGP Foundation’s latest fundraising journey along Spain’s El Camino de Santiago, which took place 2–13 May, a common theme quickly emerged.

‘I wanted to give myself a challenge in life,’ Louise McKenzie, an RACGP support and training administrator who undertook the walk, told Good Practice. ‘The El Camino was something that was way out of my comfort zone to do on my own and I thought, why not challenge myself?’

Queensland GP Dr Lisa Oliver was initially inspired by the challenge undertaken during
the most recent RACGP Foundation event in Papua New Guinea in 2013.

‘I had been thinking about participating in this event after I read about the Kokoda Trail challenge. The El Camino seemed to be the perfect opportunity to challenge myself physically and to travel abroad and meet
like-minded people, all while helping raise funds for the medical community,’ she told Good Practice.
