Lara’s Emily Cooke is one of the faces of the Appeal this year, spending time with members of the Geelong West Brigade.

The 10yo is battling a rare brain tumour that cannot be surgically removed.

However it has not stopped her from playing sport including cricket and soccer.

Emily also discovered what it takes to become a firefighter during the tour on Wednesday.

Some of the money raised this year will be going towards regional hospitals including University Hospital Geelong.
