Local Chiropractors Raise Over $16
Thousand For Charity
 |
Twenty dedicated chiropractors and their patients teamed up as the Victoria Chiropractors’ Running Backs for this year’s BC Lions’ Society 24-hour Charity Relay on June 24 and 25th. Its fourth year participating in the event, the Running Backs raised over $10 thousand to help send special needs children to summer camp for a week. |
Team Captain Dr. Stan Marcus attributes the group’s success to the generosity of all chiropractors and patients in the community. “Over 50 Victoria chiropractors placed pledge sheets in their offices and the $10,300 we raised was the eleventh highest donation among the 60 participating teams!” says Marcus. “The exposure for chiropractic in Victoria was amazing. People in our community know that we not only have healing hands, but also healing hearts!”
Meanwhile, The Back In Action Team Chiropractic of Vancouver finished first in the health care division for miles run, raising approximately six thousand dollars for the same event held in Vancouver.
Both teams extends their thanks to all chiropractors and their patients who donated their time, money and/or running skills to the event. Thanks also to the Scotia Bank, the BCCA, the CMCC alumni and the Orthotic Group for their donations. The Running Backs would also like to thank Dr. Colin McKay, Captain of the Vancouver 24-Hour Relay team, for his assistance with the Victoria event.
Ongoing involvement by chiropractors in these wonderful events lets the public know that chiropractic doctors are a special group.
