SCENAR HEALTH SPONSORS 'TOUR OF DUTY'

Scenar Therapist Leon Colbert will be helping a team of fire-fighters and emergency service workers from the US and Australia stay fit and focused on "The Tour of Duty Run" that starts at the Santa Monica Pier August 12 and ends at "ground zero" on the morning of September 11, 2010. The fire-fighters and emergency service workers are coming together as allies to remember our fallen colleagues, our brothers and sisters, our family.

The Australian team commenced their journey last Friday, Aug. 6 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Sydney with a reception, gifts from sponsors and SCENAR treatments. Some of them ran in a 14km City to Surf run on Saturday. The SCENAR HEALTH team treated Achilles tendons, hamstrings, headaches, abdominal discomfort, muscle tightness and general relaxation treatments and taught them how to treat themselves and each other.

SCENAR HEALTH USA will be supporting them in the US and we call upon SCENAR therapists along their route to donate their services, if possible. You can check out their route at www.tourofduty.com.au or download their iPhone app from iTunes.


An excerpt from their website:

We run to remember them. First and foremost this is our purpose and intent, to honour their sacrifice, respect their courage, and appreciate their commitment to service and devotion to duty. To remember them and their humanity. We also begin this journey with an understanding that so many people have suffered and are suffering to this day, the survivors, the loved ones left behind, the workers involved in reclaiming the World Trade Centre Site, the families, friends and co workers of the passengers and crews of the American Airlines and United Airlines Flights, the emotional and physical scars of this attack are devastating and potentially far more reaching than we can imagine. It has changed our world, irreversibly, forever.

It is our duty to remember what happened on September 11 and reinforce all that is good about humanity.

We also see the run as an opportunity to acknowledge emergency services globally. Every day on every continent people are giving of their lives, risking their lives so our world can be a safer place. The military, police, fire and medical services represent just some of the people that give of themselves, so others may live a better life, their service can never be underestimated.

Our journey begins on August the 12th, we fill our shoes and start to run from the Santa Monica Pier, Los Angeles at 8.46 a.m., we ask you to share our journey, to remember with us, our family, the people that have suffered and are suffering still, and the people globally that have served and will continue to serve to make our world a better place. Share this run, via the web and if we happen to be anywhere near your ballpark, fill your shoes and share the load, run with us and remember.
