"This was truly an experience never to be forgotten. Non-Profit Chiropractic Organization is an amazing charity and it was awesome to raise money and spread the word about chiropractic!"

"It was such a privilege to see Doctors, students, patients, and chiropractic supporters running for NPCO and to cheer them on was very exciting; I loved seeing them smile as they passed us. Finishing the marathon is a great accomplishment and I am proud of all of our runners."
Sonya P.





"I firmly believe that running a Marathon is 90% mental and 10% physical. My friend and fellow runner, Heather A., and I made it through our first marathon because we envisioned the hope that we could bring to so many people in pain. We prayed, sang, and leaned on each other to accomplish a goal to bring a better life to men, women, and children everywhere. We wouldn't change our experience for anything in the world and thank God for our amazing experience with Non-Profit Chiropractic Organization!"
Heather J.


"This year's Chicago Marathon was a great experience. Not only I was I able to run a great time of 2 hours 52 min. and 47 sec. which is a 7min PR for me, I was able to personally raise $2,000 for NPCO and be the top fundraiser. The NPCO is a guiding light in building a positive future of health care for others around the world with chiropractic care. I will continue to support the NPCO even though the marathon is over."

"Running the marathon was more than collecting the medal after 26.2 miles, it was a chance to voice chiropractic to thousands of people. Representing NPCO in the Chicago Marathon was an amazing opportunity and experience, plus the team itself was fun."
Andrea L.




"I wasn't able to run before I started receiving chiropractic care. What better way to demonstrate the success of chiropractic than by running around a city for 5 hours?!"
Lindsay S.





"The Chicago Marathon was just an awesome experience. I was very delighted to participate and support Team NPCO in their first appearance at the Chicago Marathon! The fans were great and I received many positive comments from fellow runners in support of chiropractic! I was a little sore on Monday, but it was worth it."
Dr. Bruce P.





"Running the Chicago Marathon showed me that I am stronger than I think. Once I crossed the finished line I vowed I would never put myself through that again, but after a few hours of recovery I was excited to run it again next year!"
Linsay W.





"I can't believe after 5 months of training the day has already come and gone. It was simply the most amazing experience i have yet had. My nerves quickly turned to excitement as i joined the other thousands of runners at the line. Running has always been a part of my life but i have never experienced anything like the Chicago Marathon. When my legs tightened and it took everything I had to fight back the tears, the crowd pulled me through. I had never felt so supported and encouraged like that before. Running is no longer just a hobby but a lifestyle. I proved that to others on Sunday, but more importantly, I proved a lot to myself. I truly believe you can do anything you put your mind to it and heart in to it. Of course I had a goal time but I just wanted to finish and not give up. Crossing the finish line with my dad waiting for me was the greatest feeling in the world. Everything I was running for came true right then and there. I don't know who was happier, me or my dad. That was a once in a lifetime experience."

"16 weeks of training: awful 26.2 miles in 33 degree weather: horrible Chicago marathon medal: priceless"

"Training for the Chicago marathon was an amazing experience. Not completing a run or doing a run "poorly" would defeat mentally me, but I learned to get back up and try again because I had set a goal to complete the Chicago marathon in 4 hours and 30 minutes. I learned to take advice and strength from others and give it of myself. When it actually came time for race day, I knew I needed to draw on others for strength and motivation because up to that point I had only run a half marathon. I put a smile on my face and high-fived as many people as possible to put my mind in the right mental space so even when the aches and pains set in around mile 12, the mental training took over and pushed me to my goal. I crossed the finish line in just under 4 hours and 30 minutes and now feel like I can accomplish anything I set my mind to!"
