LACHLAN’S LEGACY
Lachlan McLaren
15 August 2005 – 15 August 2021
Loved and missed beyond words. Always and forever in our hearts.
The Lachlan McLaren Foundation has been created to honour the memory of a very special young man whose life was suddenly and brutally taken from him on his 16th birthday, 15th August 2021.
He was a happy, carefree teenager walking his girlfriend home when he was hit and killed by a drugged driver.
His final heroic act on this earth was to push his girlfriend out of the way of the out of control car and save her life. This tragedy should never have happened and his devastated family and friends will forever mourn the loss of a promising young man who and everything to live for.
His one precious life has been taken from him in the cruellest most horrendous, senseless way. LEARN MORE

The Lachlan McLaren Foundation was created in 2023 as a legacy to our son Lachlan who was killed in 2021 by a drugged driver in Parkdale. The Foundation aims to raise money to support the Amber Community Road Trauma Services and other charitable causes in our local community such as under privileged and struggling families.
Our annual community event is Lachies Walk. The walk is a 6km loop along the Mentone foreshore walking track, with a BBQ and raffle available after the walk.
Registration $30 per person or $100 for a family 4+.
Wear red in memory of Lachie
Proudly sponsored by Community Bank Parkdale
For the past three years Lachie’s family and friends have walked in his memory and will continue to do this each year to keep his memory alive and raise funds to help families suffering similar trauma to ours.
