Healthy You challenge could net a meet-and-greet with Toronto Raptors’ Chris Boucher

TORONTO, March 29, 2021 /CNW/ – Sun Life and the Toronto Raptors are taking to social media to get Canadians up and moving. The Sun Life Healthy You Challenge launches April 5 with Toronto Raptors forward Chris Boucher and alumnus Jerome “JYD” Williams. Weekly challenges will inspire Canadians to take charge of their physical and mental health. Raptors swag and the chance to virtually meet Chris and JYD are up for grabs.

“This is a unique way for our two brands to come together and reinforce the importance of setting goals to stay mentally and physically fit,” said Véronique Dorval, Senior Vice-President, Client Experience Office, Sun Life. “A year into the COVID-19 pandemic, this challenge is geared to help Canadians live healthier lives. To build on our passion to promote healthy, active lifestyles, we partnered with the Toronto Raptors in 2014. And, in 2017, became the first official jersey patch sponsor in the team’s history.”

“Staying both mentally and physically healthy is a top priority for me as an athlete. Each game I play requires me to give it my all, and it takes hard work and dedication,” said Raptors forward Chris Boucher. “Whether you’re looking to go pro or just get more active, you have to start somewhere. By participating in this challenge, you’ll see that incorporating small healthy actions into your week can be fun and will help build healthy habits.”

Inspired by Sun Life’s ‘Let’s get you there.’ brand campaign, the Sun Life Healthy You Challenge focuses on holistic health. Running on Twitter and Instagram, the challenge will get Canadians moving and motivate them to get healthy. Each challenge aims to raise heart rates or lower stress levels.

Each week, participants can find a new challenge on social media:

• Week 1 – Get ready to move with ‘Basketball Burpees’
• Week 2 – Test your balance with the ‘Eagle Challenge’
• Week 3 – Zen out with ‘Basketball Breathing’
• Week 4 – Crunch your way through ‘Sit-up Sock Shots’
