Over the next year, employees at The Advantage Travel Partnership in London and their members, based across the UK, will be aiming to raise ?25,000 by taking part in a number of events. Through the partnership we?ll be able to grant the wishes of even more seriously ill children, giving them the strength to cope, resilience to fight their illness and hope for the future.?
