Climbing for CFA Cockatoo

Australian firefighters are up to 250% more likely to contract various cancers, and in many cases there is no cure. Driven by prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals, combustion byproducts, and legacy firefighting foams, the risk increases with years of service and the number of incidents attended. Many will know the impact such exposure has had on my family, other fire fighting family’s, both now and into the future – its a high price to pay for a volunteering years of your time to the community.

Times are tough for many, but everyone has a few spare $$$ if they look hard, give up that morning coffee or the afternoon beers for a few days – pretty small price to pay to support a few worthy causes.

End of financial year is coming in hot and donations over $2 are 100% tax deductible.

So far, I've raised $2,156 of my $5,000 fundraising goal.
