Road to SporTal: Sun Life: Go Healthier and Brighter with Piolo Pascual and other celebrities

Sun Life steps up its wellness game

For some of us, that includes me, HEALTH can be a financial concern and that is one of the major concerns in families. It is a serious matter that I can relate, which I sometimes take for granted. I have friends and relatives who for one reason, financial issue, can't find ways to help support their medical expenses. For sure, many of us have struggles when it comes to spending for health expenses and how to live a healthy life without spending much. It's good to know that Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc. came up with a wellness game to focus on preparation and prevention as keys to living a prosperous life. Sun Life, the country's top life insurer offers three drives that are empowering as they are financially-rewarding:

SUN Fit and Well

A comprehensive health product that covers Prevention, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Rehabilitation. This all-embracing philosophy makes it the most comprehensive product solution of its kind. For added protection and peace of mind, it includes a life insurance policy.

"SUN Fit and Well provides coverage for 114 critical illnesses that can help replace funds used for diagnostic procedures and check-ups. But more than a health insurance, it provides benefits to keep customers healthy and well, It is available in limited pay and Advantage variants, which includes hospitalization and follow-up care with a specialist," explains Sun Life Chief Marketing Officer Mylene Lopa.

Th\is is one of the most anticipated, star-studded charity fun race, fund-raising, and getting fit that Sun Life has been organizing for eight years now. It's a 2-in-1 advocacy of education and diabetes awareness which will be held on November 19, 2016 (Saturday), by sunset, at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City.

Sugar Wars drives for an active lifestyle as one of the best obstacle against this debilitating disease, with Philippines declared as a diabetic hot spot. Participants can choose from different distances:

Close to a hundred Star Magic celebrities will be joining Piolo to add glitz to the event, while and after-run show will serve as the launch of Inigo Pascual's debut album featuring the official Go Well jingle "Live Life Brighter," together with surprise performances.
