Accor staff racing to make a difference |
| 12 October 2011 |
 Almost 100 employees from Accor Hotels across the country are two weeks away from the inaugural Race to Survive: Mission Possible Australia. This three-day event from 26 to 29 October will be held at Novotel Twin Waters Resort on the Sunshine Coast. Race to Survive: Mission Possible Australia is a challenge of stamina, strength, speed and strategy – ultimately with the goal of raising $250,000 for a range of Mission Australia services across the country. The teams of Accor employees will go head-to-head in a gruelling race that includes mountain hiking, kayaking, cycling and swimming. Accor – Australia’s largest hotel group – has been a partner of Mission Australia for a number of years. “Hotels are very much part of their local communities and across Australia our teams work with Mission Australia to improve the lives of those less fortunate,” said Simon McGrath, Vice President Accor Australia. “We selected Queensland to host Race to Survive because it has had to withstand so many hardships this year: from natural disasters through to declines in tourism business as a result of the high Australian dollar. “We wanted to give back to the Queensland community. It should be an inspiring event for all those participating,” said Mr McGrath. Mission Australia’s own CEO Toby Hall will take part in the final day of the race. Toby and the entire Mission Australia team would like to extend a sincere thank you to all Accor staff for their amazing effort.
