The challenge was a two-day endurance event that was held in South Korea from May 15 to May 16. Over 30 Aon and other industry colleagues took part in traversing coastal trails of mixed terrain to climb Mount Hallasan, South Korea’s highest peak. During the two-day event, the team collectively raised over SG$150,000 through personal fundraising and corporate donations leading up to the event.
