CHIROPRACTIC FAMILY EMBARkS ON A ‘MARATHON OF HEALTH’ On May 8, chiropractor Ed Chicoine from Wakefield, Quebec, embarked on a cross-country run titled the “Marathon of Health” with his wife Gaye and their six children! Dr. Chicoine is passionate about getting Canadians healthy and fit and is spreading the news to families across the country by running with his own family. They will run 90 kilometres every day of the week, in relay, from Vancouver on the west coast, all the way to Saint John, New Brunswick, in the east, and then down into the United States, back across to the west coast and back to finish in Vancouver. The family will give engaging presentations along the way, teaching people about the benefits of fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Chicoine will also promote chiropractic care for everyone – while adjusting his own family along the way - and stress that good chiropractic care can be part of good, healthy living. Proceeds for the run will go to kids fitness organizations Kidsport Canada, Right to Play and Get America Fit Foundation – the Chicoines’ goal is to raise $5 M for kids fitness in North America and around the world. The family began their marathon at Prospect Point in Stanley Park in Vancouver. They were honoured guests at the Langley City Council televised meeting on May 9 and presented at the Chilliwack YMCA on May 11. As well, the Chicoines have been televised by a number of networks across the country, and their marathon is continuing! Chiropractors who would like to invite the Chicoines to address a group in their town or city, along the route of their Marathon of Health, are asked to please contact Colleen Edwards at cedwards@stemtechmail.com.
