Announcing the Medical Heroes Initiative
For us Layback is not ‘just’ about tourist hospitality. Our vision is to make a positive and lasting impression on people’s lives. We already do that with our Layback groms project. yet that’s just a start.
We are overwhelmed with and thankful for the huge amount of new followers on Instagram. We realized again that building such an awesome community (both online as offline) gives us even greater opportunities to achieve our vision.
Today we are proud to present you our medical heroes initiative.
Because medical heroes - you inspire us!
This pandemic is not something we planned or expected. While many of us were simply asked to stay at home, some people had an important job to do.
The doctors and healthcare workers didn’t have time to binge watch Netflix, bake banana-bread or join an online yoga class (some of the things we did). They showed up to work every single day, showing all of us around the world the true power of teamwork, kindness, strength, compassion and damn hard work!
We don’t take this for granted and wanna let you know: you guys are superheroes! Thank you to each one of you for staying strong, for always putting others first and for taking care of our friends, families and neighbors.
We truly appreciate your dedication for the exceptional work you do and are grateful for all what you have done and still do. Therefore, we want to offer something special to all the amazing healthcare workers out there!
Let us take care of you for a change! We would like to offer you a free surf & yoga package in order to fully relax, recharge and have some fun! If you are interested, please get in touch with us by email or via Instagram. Let’s get you superheroes back on your feet, aka on the surfboard!
For all the non-healthcare workers: spread the word and share this offer with your healthcare friends & family and let’s collectively celebrate them!
