The Fiona Wood Foundation is taking the PLUNGE on Friday, 13th November 2026 (PM), where we challenge you to abseil 130 metres down Central Park Tower in the Perth CBD.
Registrations are now open, and we would love to see members of our Burn Family, FWF research team, charity partners and wider FWF community come together to take part. Whether it’s with friends, family, or colleagues, the PLUNGE is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that directly impacts the lives of burn survivors and their families.
Taking part in the Central Park Plunge was such a worthwhile experience.
For me, it had many purposes. It was an opportunity to raise money for the FWF to support their research & awareness efforts and to give back to the foundation that has provided my family and me with compassion and ongoing support throughout my daughter’s burn journey.
Additionally, stepping off the top of the building and abseiling down 130m showed my daughter (4yo at the time) that we can overcome the challenges ahead of us, if we dare to be brave.”

This year, the Foundation plans to use funds raised through the Plunge to support the next brilliant mind in burns research by fully funding a Research Fellow.
By investing in research talent, you enable our team to focus on discovery and advance their ideas without constraints. This accelerates the path from idea to impact, bringing new diagnostics, treatments and prevention strategies closer to patients and communities. It strengthens the research workforce, builds long-term innovation capability, and delivers compounding returns for the health system through improved outcomes and more efficient care.
