The donations bring joy and hope to the children at Reach for a Dream and truly make a difference in their lives. “We are encouraging people to come run and help usmake a once-in-a-lifetime dream come true for children with life-threatening illnesses, particularly in this period leading up to the festive season when everyone could do with some cheer,” says Salomon.

“We are so privileged to be the beneficiary of the Barron Corporate Run4Good.  It is an annual event that we look forward to as a Foundation.  The money raised inspires hope for children who are fighting a life threatening illness, by making their ultimate dream, a reality.  We are so grateful for the partnership that we have with Barron and the team as they allow us this platform to positively impact many lives” Natalie Lazaris, Head of Business Development.
