Gloria was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis at age 26.  Her doctor told her she would likely be in a wheelchair by age 40.  After several surgeries, addiction to pain medications and bouts of severe depression Gloria moved to Sun City from Utah two years ago, hoping the warmer weather would help her pain. She was introduced to the Poms and was so intrigued that she joined, hoping she could find the stamina to perform.

This life changing event led Gloria to wean herself off all pain medications and begin to improve her total health.  Her determination and spirit is amazing.
