During my stay at Shades of Hope Spencer McCarty filled in as Fitness Director for the group. He accompanied us on our morning and evening walks, planned and directed fitness exercise each morning and led and directed in recreation time in the afternoons. I was especially touched by his ability to motivate, encourage participation and measure the limits and abilities of each person. The group had quite a diversity of physical abilities, age and mental attitude. The daily exercises consisted of a circuit. He was able to guide each participant according to their abilities. He consistently found the balance of helping yet pushing. The morning and afternoon walks kept up a brisk pace. He alternated between walking with the front and the rear walkers. His attitude toward the participants was always respectful and kind with the amount of authority needed for the job. Rarely have I seen a young man with such character and ability. I thank Shades of Hope for giving me Spencer as a helper during my time of healing.
