Climbing for CFA Wonga Park

Again this year I will be participating in the Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb on Sept 7th in honour of my beautiful friend Kylie Laurie and her family…. who tragically lost their very much loved son and brother Matt in 2021. 💙 This year will be a little different though , as I’ll be part of the volunteer “Climb Crew” in the stairwell to ensure firefighter wellbeing. Another female firefighter will climb in my place and hopefully I can climb again next year 🤞 Any donations to help crisis support and cancer research would be greatly appreciated.
Together if we can keep Matts memory alive and help save one life in honour of Matt it would mean so very much. Thank you ♥️



9/11 Memorial

The Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb remembers the 343 Firefighters that lost their lives in the line of duty on 11th September 2001.

My stair climb race bib will include the name and photo of FDNY Firefighter Ruben family Correa in memory of their sacrifice made on that fateful day. Search and read more about Ruben family Correa.

So far, I've raised $275 of my $1,000 fundraising goal.
