Sunlife Philippines promotes health & wellness by example

With Sunlife Philippines once again participating in this year's Ironman Asia Pacific Championship at Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu, Sunlife also aims to promote and highlight its health and wellness campaign. The Sunlife Tri-Team consist of four relay teams, led by Sun Life Financial Asia President Kevin Strain as the runner, Sun Life Hong Kong Strategic Associate Director for Actuarial and Risk - Brandon Kandt as the biker, and Sun Life Philippines Board Member Paco Sandejas as the Swimmer.

"Health and Wellness are important thrusts of the life insurance business, and we hope we can inspire more people to work on their fitness goals so they can enjoy a brighter life", said Kevin Strain.

The company recently launched the latest addition to its suite of wellness products called the SUN Fit and Well, which offers comprehensive life and health protection from childhood all the way to the golden years.

One of the other teams participating consist of Sun Life Brand Ambassador Piolo Pascual (bike), along with Larry Medenilla (swim), and Toniel Ty (run).

Indeed, sports is the perfect metaphor for any endeavor because the discipline and commitment it requires are exactly what we need if we want to reach our goals in life said Sun Life Chief Marketing Officer Mylene Lopa.

Incidentally, the medal that will be awarded to racers was once again designed by multi-awarded industrial designer Kenneth Cobonpue, himself a Sun Life brand ambassador.
