Spencer came to GHS severely overweight and in immense pain. Upon arrival, he weighed 176 lbs and was only able to walk a few feet before collapsing from exhaustion. Thanks to the generous support of Duke’s Fund donors, Spencer’s life is changing for the better. He is on medication to help manage the pain in his joints and is currently in a specialized weight-loss program, which includes weekly wellness checks and exercise on the water treadmill.
Although it will not be an easy journey, he has already come a long way and his foster mom says he is feeling much better!
