When we launched our Live in the Moment vacation giveaway promotion, we never imagined that it would receive such a huge response! We asked our Facebook Fans and Twitter Followers to nominate a family that they felt was truly deserving of a vacation to Now Resorts & Spas.

With over 60 heartfelt entries, 5 finalists and over 600 votes to determine the winner, we are happy to announce that submission #1, Danny and Landy have won!!

Here is the entry that touched the hearts of so many and received over 440 votes:

I would like to nominate my best friend Landy and her father, Danny. This is an excerpt from an email she wrote in May, 2009 – “Mama and I have had lots of talks about life lately. She is not scared of death, because the worst thing that can happen is that she gets to be reunited with Lista. And I’m not scared of her dying, because I know there’s a place saved for her in Heaven.” Earlier this year, cancer took her mom’s life. Lista was Landy’s sister. Her life was cut extremely short when cancer took her not 2 years before it took her mom. Landy is a gift to the people around her and has had to suffer through more than any one person should.  I could only hope to give back to her what she gives to everyone. Please consider her and her father for this amazing gift. — Jenny

Danny and Landy will be treated to an exclusive FREE three-night stay at the Now Resorts & Spa of their choice, complete with VIP treatment. Our special guests will have the luxury of getting away from it all while relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Mexico! What a wonderful way to reflect on their experience, celebrate life and look forward to a bright future.
