Fredo's Trainline Trek Against Cancer

By Daniel Federico

Walk is finished!

Hey everyone,
The walk is done. The last few walks went well, the Hurstbridge Line was the longest I did in a day, at 42km, but it wasn’t too bad.
Thanks a lot everyone for you support and donations.
Until next time,
Daniel Federico

Update on the walk 21st of September

Hey everyone,
Thanks so much for your donations so far! Still plenty of time to donate if you can though

I have walked 371km so far, about 200 to go

The lines still left to complete are: Cragieburn, Lilydale, Pakenham, Glen Waverly and Hurstbridge.

Update on the walk 13th of September

Hey everyone!
The trek is going great so far, I am over a third of the way through, which puts me on track with where I wanted to be.

Here are the train lines I have done so far: Stony Point, Frankston, Sunbury, Alamein, Werribee, Sandringham and the first half of the Belgrave line.

At this rate I will be walking 6 days a week, averaging around 22km a day, with one rest day.

You can see pictures of all the stations I’ve been to, as well as stats on the Instagram page @fredos.trainline.trek

I'll be walking all the Melbourne train lines to help stop cancer

Hello everyone,
I'm Daniel Federico and I am 21 years old.
I am undertaking a new fundraiser this September where I will attempt to walk all of the metropolitan Melbourne train lines in a month. In doing this, I will visit every station, and walk adjacent to the tracks (never on them), as I attempt to walk roughly 600km in 30 days.

I am doing this to try and raise money for all the people who have been effected by cancer, either themselves or the people they love. I have been effected with the loss of my brother Julian, who passed away from T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) in 2018 at the age of 20.

In my late brother's name I have done 2 fundraisers in the past, I walked the Hurstbridge line where we raised over $23,000, then in 2021 I walked 221km from Inverloch to Melbourne and we raised over $21,000.

I would really appreciate any support on my upcoming trek, 100% of funds will go straight to the Cancer Council Australia to help them fight this horrific disease.

Thanks everyone :)
