Live Learn Survive's vision is for every child and young adult, no matter their background or location, to have access to education on water safety, fire safety and first aid. In 2014, the World Health Organisation commissioned a global report, its first ever dedicated to Drowning. Their advice was that other than installing barriers or keeping children away from water the leading point of action is to teach water safety to school aged children, and Live Learn Survive does exactly that.

Maxi and Leigh have created an award- winning set of children's books, they have a podcast and have now founded their own Live Learn Survive charity, all to support water safety, fire safety and first aid education.

Maxi and Leigh travel regularly with their Live Learn Survive school-based program. Since 2018 they have travelled and met face to face with over 26,000 children in 6 countries across 3 continents educating them about water safety.

Starting as a 16-year-old trainee his 16-year career is well documented on award winning Australian TV show Bondi Rescue, airing in over 100 countries globally.

In 2016 Maxi became a Firefighter for NSW Fire + Rescue and in 2018 he became a Qualified Rescue Operator and in 2022 Senior Firefighter as part of the rescue team based at the Bankstown Fire Station in Sydney.

Now living In Australia Leigh met Maxi in 2014 and discovered they share a passion for water safety education.
