Matthew Cane

Climbing for CFA Buninyong-Mount Helen

This year I’ll be once again running (probably just walking) up the 28 floors of the Crown Metropol in all my firefighting kit.

By doing this I’ll be helping to raise $700,000 to support our beneficiaries, Lifeline, Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation and 000Foundation

Thanks to our sponsors, 100% of every dollar donated will go to mental health.

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 Michael J Elferis in memory of their sacrifice made on that fateful day. Search and read more about Michael J Elferis.

So far, I've raised $1,586 of my $1,000 fundraising goal.
