Giving Back to the Community, 26 May, The Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>At Marist Sisters\u2019 College we are again invited to take up the challenge to support the Humpty Dumpty Foundation and run the Balmoral Burn on the 26 May. The Humpty Dumpty Foundation is a children’s charity that, for more than 30 years, has been purchasing essential and often life-saving medical equipment for sick and injured children in Pediatric Wards, Neonatal Units, Maternity and Emergency Departments in hospitals across Australia. It now donates vital equipment to over 500 metropolitan and rural hospitals. <\/span>This physical challenge is an opportunity for our students and staff to be involved in the broader community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, as a school community, we were the highest fundraisers and we donated an <\/span>Airvo Humidifier<\/span><\/i> that supports babies and children suffering from respiratory problems. We have an opportunity this year to donate further equipment. So, let\u2019s start using the holiday break as an opportunity to build up your training in pairs or groups.<\/span>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Entry can be in the schools <\/span>individual race Senior School \u201cJust For Fun\u201d, or enter as a team<\/b> of 4 to<\/b> compete in the Senior School <\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u2018Head of the Hill\u201d categories. <\/b>No matter what event, your contribution goes towards a very worthy cause. This year, our third year as participants, we want to increase our number of teams compared to 2023.<\/span>
