Dance to the Music

Personal Trainer Gavin Sullivan dances to Frank Sinatra's "The Lady is a Tramp" with client Mark Gregor. "He forgets about trying to take a step and just reacts to the music," said Gavin. "He's moving without realizing it." Mark is working to increase his functional mobility as part of his recovery from brain cancer. 

May Member of the Month

May Member of the Month Mark Gregor came to Pearce in January to work with personal trainer Gavin Sullivan to try to improve his ability to walk and increase the use of his right hand and arm, functionality he lost during his battle with brain cancer.

Before he retired, Mark was a district fire chief and state certified ERT and CPR instructor. He also drove semi tractor trailers coast to coast for many years. He was a Big Brother-Big Sister volunteer, foster parent, and small railroad investor.  He still enjoys working on his 1/8 scale railroad.

Pearce staff members chose Mark as the member of the month because of his incredibly positive attitude.

“We all have days that seem unbearable; however, you can achieve your goals if your are patient, have an optimistic attitude, and fine something good about each day,” says Mark.  “Never allow yourself to become overwhelmed or discouraged with the problems of life.”
