Paramedic students shining lights on the charity front 

While Paramedics are associated with health emergencies, our CQUniversity Paramedic Science students are also keen to contribute to preventative health causes.

Students Cheniel Steinscherer, Casey Solis, Shelby Farrell and Cassie Fraser were recently involved as participants and fundraisers for the Light The Night Walk in aid of the Leukaemia Foundation.

Paramedic students are also getting involved in a Loud Shirt Appeal to raise funds for deaf children.

"We all feel it is important to support the community even whilst in the education phase of our careers," Ms Steinscherer says.

"All attendees in Light The Night are close friends of mine, and as I have recently been diagnosed with stage 1 cervical cancer, we felt that it was an excellent opportunity to show our support for other friends, family and loved ones of fellow patients, survivors, and those who lost their battle."
