Capital G is pleased to announce its co-sponsorship of the Bermuda 100-Day Challenge, beginning on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009.

The 100-Day Challenge is Bermuda’s island-wide weight loss contest that invites everyone to live healthier lives for 100 days by eating better and exercising regularly.

Capital G will be supporting two of its staff members: Latia Robinson - Assistant Accountant Treasury & Banking and John Gallo – Vice President Technology Infrastructure, Information Technology (pictured), in their weight loss efforts during The Challenge.

The company will also launch its second annual, company-wide 100-day challenge to include workout sessions, training advice, weekly weigh-ins, group walks, health seminars and more. As an incentive, Capital G will donate one dollar for every pound lost by its employees to the Bermuda Diabetes Foundation and the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital’s Cardiac and Dialysis Units.

Capital G staffers Ms. Robinson and Mr. Gallo aim to shed the most body weight and ultimately become healthier people during their 100 days.
