A Sunbury firefighter is doing his bit to help alleviate the suffering of children affected by burns and illness.
It was Aaron Ficheroux’s first year modelling for the charity Australian Firefighters Calendar and he was selected to star on the front cover of the 2018 Victoria calendar.
Next Thursday he will also appear on television’s the AFL Footy Show to promote the Australian Firefighters Calendar telethon.
As one of the Victorian firefighters involved in the campaign, he will answer phones as viewers call in to donate to children’s cancer charity My Room.
Mr Ficheroux said he was driven to help fundraise for sick and injured children by his own three young children.
“If my kids were ever in a position where they needed help in that kind of way, I would want the best help for them,” he said.
“That was my motivation, to be a part of something where I can give back to kids that can’t help themselves.”
Sales of the Firefighters Calendar raise funds for the Children’s Hospital Foundation and the Westmead Children’s Hospital Burns unit.
