TDF 2009: Boston to Ground Zero
In 2009 the Tour de Force will have a New England feel. The tour will kick off in Boston on 9/11 and takes us through Massachusettes, Connecticut & Long Island and will conclude on 9/14 at Ground Zero in NYC.
The following excerpt was taken from the Tour de Force website:
History of The Tour de Force
“The “Tour de Force” was started in 2002 after Det. Robert De Paolis of the NYPD (since retired) decided to ride his bike to honor the fallen police officers that gave their lives in the September 11, 2001 attacks. He was then joined by 8 other members of the NYPD and one member of the Bronx District Attorney’s Office and along with four volunteer support personnel, they cycled their way from the Pentagon in Arlington, VA, through Washington, DC, Maryland, Deleware and New Jersey and finally to Ground Zero, NYC. In 2003, the Tour de Force was incorperated in the state of New York as a non profit charity and later gained 501(c)3 status from the IRS.
The TDF has now evolved into an annual four day event in which we continue to remember our brothers and sisters that died that fateful day. In their honor, we have made it our mission to raise funds for families of police officers nationwide that are killed in the line of duty. The TDF also holds several one day benefit events, each year.”
Taking part in this years event was no other then long time chiropractic patient Hernan Lucero. The grueling ride was a whopping 260 miles from Boston to New York City’s ground zero and was a tribute to the lives lost on September 11, 2001.
While inspirational no doubt the ride can take it’s toll on the body and the accumulated stress that builds up can be painful for some. When finished the 260 mile ride leaves bikers at Ground Zero in downtown Manhattan. But New York City resident and rider Hernan Lucero didn’t stop there – he kept on riding right into his Chiropractors office; Dr. Noam Sadovnik at Midtown Total Health.
“Dr. Sadovnik has been a tremendous aspect of my training regimen both in preperation and recovery from the event.” Said Hernan. It’s no wonder Hernan decide to ride right into Dr. Sadovnik’s office after finishing the race for his own ‘tune up.’
Dr. Sadovnik compliments his Chiropratic care with advanced forms of clinical rehabiliation and corrective exercise not usually found in other Chiropractic offices. Here you can see Hernan performing some ATM2’s also known as ‘Active Therapeutic Movements’ to help restore core stability and balance to his pelvic floor.
“After addressing someone’s biomechanical issues resequencing and reconditiong the core muscle’s that support the spine and it’s funciton is imperative to optimizing performance and restoring function.” Says Dr. Sadovnik of Midtown Total Health.
