On January 12, 2010, the world reached out to the people of Haiti following their catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake that reduced the entire capital city of Port-au-Prince to rubble and ruin. Unfortunately much of the relief aid was slow to arrive due to damaged transportation facilities and chaos. But that didn’t stop chiropractor Rennie Statler of Danbury, CT. Within nine days of the devastating event, he, along with a handful of colleagues, was on a jet plane heading south — leaving his comfortable office and familiar surroundings to hand-deliver supplies of food, water, and of course, chiropractic care to the hurting Haitian country.
this is the tremendous debt of gratitude that we owe our nation’s firefighters, police, and paramedics. Men and women who are all too easily taken for granted, yet they continue to serve and protect us everyday — even if the day happens to be September 11, 2001.
