Keeping fit and healthy and earning Vitality points as a family helped win this family of four the trip of a lifetime to Disneyland® Paris. Here's their story - plus more on how you could be next!
Joanne Rainier-Pope is serious about her family's health - and she's is being rewarded for that with a whole lot of fun! She and family - husband Paul and daughters Robyn and Dale - have just won a 5-star experience in Disneyland® Paris, with flights sponsored by Emirates. They qualified by participating in weekly parkruns and earning 1 000 fitness points as a family within a few months.
These winners were part of the Vitality family from the start
The family's loyalty and commitment to a healthier lifestyle has paid off in a way they've only imagined. “We have been Vitality members since inception, 21 years ago,” Joanne says. “Our lives have been enriched by gym membership, Ster-Kinekor movie club membership, as well as discounts on our Discovery Card and our Discovery Life insurance premiums.”
“The Vitality Active Rewards programme has made us push our fitness levels higher than ever, offering the motivation to do the Rondebosch Common parkrun on Saturday mornings,” she continues. Now, in addition to their bundle of Discovery products and rewards, they are jetting off to Disneyland Paris for a 5-star family adventure. All because of their commitment to getting fit and healthy as a family.
