'We're still FIGHTING FOR STEVEN'

JEFF AND JILL ARE CALLING FOR CHANGE AFTER THEIR SON'S DEATH

- Maisy Rae

Next week marks the two-year anniversary of NSW paramedic Steven Tougher's tragic and senseless death.

For his parents, Jeff and Jill, they'll be spending the day doing what they do best – proudly sharing his story in the hopes another family will not receive the same devastating phone call they did.

Steven, aged 29, was killed on April 14, 2023, outside a McDonald's in Campbelltown in Sydney's west. He was on his work break.

“He was married in March, [killed] in April, and his daughter was born in May,” Jeff tells New Idea. “You cannot write it any sadder than that. That drives us, that's our purpose now.”

This April 14, the Toughers will begin a five-day journey from their home in Wollongong, to Canberra and then up through regional NSW, visiting major hospitals to share their 'Steven's Law' campaign.
