To all my friends, family & clients! Could you please help out with this great cause, anything is appreciated 💕

She's hot out here today Hamilton! 🌞

A few of our awesome staff members will be participating in the Ronald McDonald 'House to House' event in March.

Covering 210km over the month (whether it's walking, running, swimming etc), participants will raise money to help support families with a hospitalised child, who often have to travel long distances for treatment.

Our lovely rentals administrator Zoe has already smashed her goal of $500 in donations to go towards the RMHC, but we want to help her go further! Whether it's just a small donation of $5, or you're interested in participating yourself, check out the link below and do your part!

Good luck to all involved! 👍
