Introducing our Kids Health Heroes!
It is with great pleasure that Bel and Israel introduce our new network of Kids Health Hero Ambassadors!
Each of these wonderful people have committed to becoming part of our mission to Transform Children’s Health, by sharing our messages in their communities – across both Australia and New Zealand!
Check out this map for locations of our current Kids Health Heroes, and below the map you can see their smiling faces, locations, and qualifications.
NOTE: We don’t have an easy way for you to contact your local Kids Health Hero directly yet, so for now, simply send any questions or enquiries to Israel – israel@therootcause.com.au.
