New City Chiropractic Center Offers Free Treatment in Support of Wounded Warrior Project and An Opportunity to Join the Gladiator ‘Race Teams’

Last year eleven Rockland residents agreed to participate in a ridiculously difficult obstacle race called the Spartan Sprint. They did it to challenge themselves physically and raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. The team not only finished the grueling mostly uphill 4.5 mile course but they also managed to raise over $9,000 for MS.

 

Dr. Michael Cocilovo and Dr. Gil Rodriguez of New City Chiropractic Center are the organizers of the New City Gladiators who will compete again on June 1st in the Spartan Sprint in Tuxedo Park and this year the beneficiary of their efforts will be The Wounded Warrior Project. They have also added an opportunity for others to join the team. On May 31 seventeen of their friends, family and patients will participate in “The Color Run” at CitiField billed by the founders as the ‘Happiest 5k on the Planet’.  “The goal of the The Color Run falls directly in line with the ideals we have promoted in our office for 28 years -- getting people active and living a healthier lifestyle,” stated Dr. Cocilovo. During the un-timed race, participants are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer and waiting at the end is a ‘Finish Festival’ complete with music and dancing.

“By having two teams and adding The Color Run we can include folks who are looking for a simpler challenge, and we believe helping others is always a good motivator!” added Dr. Cocilovo. They have set their goal at $3,000 for The Wounded Warrior project and are already half way there. To assist with reaching their goal New City Chiropractic Center is offering a free consultation and chiropractic treatment to new patients who visit the office in May and make a donation of any size. To schedule an appointment for a free chiropractic consultation and adjustment, call New City Chiropractic Center at 845-634-8877 and mention the Gladiators.
