Celebrating
the life of
Bella Canfield
While Bella was taken far too soon, her legacy, through her passion for life, will live on forever.
Tragically on January 19th, 2022, Bella Canfield was struck by a car close to her home in Salisbury West and passed away at just 18 years old.
Bella was a beautiful girl inside and out with an infectious laugh and an unforgettable smile. She had so much life to live and had just been accepted into Geelong Uni to follow her dreams of becoming a nurse.
All those who knew Bella adored her, but she was most beloved by the devastated family she leaves behind: her parents Linda and Leigh and her 3 cherished sisters, Portia, Neve and Ava. Beyond the impact to her close family, the loss of Bella is felt by countless friends and extended family who all loved her and the joy she brought them.
Starting in 2023, to celebrate and honour the life that Bella lived, we hold an annual walk in her legacy:
‘Follow the Sun – Walk for Bell’.
2023 Walk - Supported Righteous Pups
Bella had a true love for animals and the hugest heart for helping anyone in need, so for our first walk in 2023 we raised $35,000 for Righteous Pups. This charity raises and trains therapy and assistance dogs to support people with Epilepsy, Diabetes and Autism. The amount raised will help cover the cost of raising a recently born puppy, named Bella Rose, who will go on to enrich the life of a fortunate owner.
2024 Walk - The Code 9 Foundation
In 2024 supported Code 9 Foundation. This charity is close to our hearts following the help and support we received after Bella's accident. The foundation provides a place of support for current and veteran professional first responders and 000 operators who live with PTSD, depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions that result from their service to the community.
Funds will be raised through registrations for the walk, the sale of merchandise,
generous donations, sponsorship and a silent auction.
