Simon Lund - Lund Family Appeal

Simon Lund dedicated over 25 years to serving the Victorian community as a CFA staff member and volunteer, responding to nearly every major emergency in recent decades — from bushfires and floods to mine fires. His commitment on the frontline has come at a personal cost: Simon was diagnosed with a terminal illness linked to toxic exposure during his service.

Simon’s story underscores the urgent need for legislative change to better protect emergency workers facing occupational illnesses. In his final chapter, Maryvale Private Hospital provided Simon and his family with compassionate and dignified palliative care.

As a way of giving back, Simon’s family is raising funds to purchase a cuddle bed for Maryvale — a special bed that allows loved ones to lie beside a patient, offering comfort, closeness, and connection in their final days.

This appeal honours Simon’s legacy and ensures other families can share those precious final moments with dignity and love.
