Aidan was only 22 years old when his life was tragically taken in Mernda, Victoria, after stepping in to help a 14-year-old who was being mugged.

In a moment where many might have walked away, Aidan chose courage. He chose to protect someone else.

That decision cost him his life.

I am organising this fundraiser as I have direct contact with Aidan’s family through a close connection with Aidan’s mum’s employer, and I am assisting with communications during this incredibly difficult time.

Aidan’s actions showed the kind of person he was — brave, selfless, and willing to stand up for others when it mattered most. His family has now been left to face an unimaginable loss.

This fundraiser has been created to support Aidan’s loved ones during this devastating time. The funds will help assist his family with funeral expenses and provide support as they navigate the incredibly difficult days ahead.

No family should ever have to endure a loss like this, and no act of bravery like Aidan’s should ever be forgotten.

If you are able to contribute, any support — big or small — will help honour Aidan’s memory and show his family that the community stands with them.

Aidan stepped up when someone needed help.

Now it’s our turn to step up for him and his family.

This fundraiser is being organised with the knowledge of Aidan’s family. All funds raised will be transferred directly to Aidan’s family, who will be the beneficiaries of this fundraiser.
