Team-shot

Brave Helloworld Travel employees recently took on the Balmoral Burn in Sydney, in support of the Humpty Dumpty Foundation.

The annual run up the Awaba Street 420m course in Mosman was supported by various other events and activities across the weekend which raised over $2m for much needed lifesaving medical equipment for children’s wards in Australian hospitals, making a huge difference to thousands of sick and injured children.
