Palm Beach – On December 14th, 2013, more than thirty colleagues from the Radisson Aruba Resort Casino & Spa participated in a charity road race. The winner, Manuel Reyes, enjoyed the distinct honor of presenting a check to the representatives of his charity of choice: Casa Cuna, children’s home, just recently.
The race concluded an exciting yearlong challenge in which athletic resort General Manager Mark Lyttleton Frances encouraged and coaxed members of the executive committee and staffers to get fit and trim, adhere to a healthy life-style, and daily exercise.
During the year, the resort held a number of races, all won by the GM, finally, in the decisive race at the end of the year, two members of the Pool & Beach department overtook him, landing the GM in third place, Chaim Alvarez in second and Manuel Reyes first, posting the best 5k result of 21:10.
The much anticipated award and donation ceremony took place at the resort. The children’s home representatives accepted the donation gratefully, and the Radisson team looked considerably fitter and trimmer, a feat appreciated and praised by the GM, whose mission was accomplished.
Also on the program for that afternoon an entertaining short film shot during the GM Charity 5k Challenge, as well as the great reveal of the plans for the next race on March 29th, a longer loop around the hilly Alto Vista Chapel.
