We are thrilled to share the inspiring story of Matthew Wolf, the founder of Wolfmed, an Australian company dedicated to importing high-quality medical equipment for healthcare practitioners.
A few months ago, Matthew attended an annual community event held at Stuarts Point, NSW, where he visited The 10,000 Toes Campaign stand. During his visit, he learned about our critical health initiatives across the South Pacific and felt a strong desire to contribute.
With a genuine heart for service, Matthew reached out to us, leading to a meaningful discussion with our Campaign Coordinator, Pamela Townend, and Dr. Chester Kuma, our Regional Lead Ambassador for the Solomon Islands. Together in a Zoom meeting, they brainstormed innovative ways to create a lasting impact on community health.
Making a Difference
Following their uplifting conversation, Matthew generously donated two vascular Dopplers, vital tools for assessing blood flow. Dr. Kuma took these machines to the Solomon Islands, where they were used for essential health checks.
These Doppler machines play a crucial role in identifying blood flow and circulation issues and preventing serious complications, such as amputations, particularly for individuals living with diabetes.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Matthew for his unwavering support. His contributions are not only making a difference; they are saving lives and transforming health outcomes across the South Pacific.
Doppler Training in Fiji
Recently, our Ambassadors in Fiji participated in training on the Doppler Ultrasound Device, led by Brian Tait, a Nurse Practitioner and Advanced Wound Clinician. There are plans to have a permanent machine shortly in Fiji to help local communities.
With these new machines and our trained health workers, we’re making big changes. We plan to open two Wellness Hubs focused on wound care—one in the West and one in the Northern Division. These hubs will perform regular Doppler assessments to check blood flow in the limbs.
Doppler Training in Australia
Matthew recently spent an afternoon with the 10,000 Toes Campaign team at Watson Park, South Queensland, during an annual conference event held there. He demonstrated the Doppler device and emphasized the importance of monitoring foot circulation.
Additionally, he trained John Sanburg, a registered nurse, who tested event attendees’ toes at our stand each afternoon in exchange for donations, raising much-needed funds for our current Adopt a Wellness Clinic fundraising project in the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
