What: Ben’s Bells promote kindness and community involvement. Each week a person who makes Tucson better is “belled.”
Last week’s recipient: Sharon Paluk, a personal trainer.
Nominated by: Pam Shack
Why: Paluk works with elderly clients using a Pilates-based fitness program, but goes above and beyond in many ways. She bought special equipment for one client and worked in a swimming pool with another. She visits sick and dying clients in nursing homes and hospitals, works with a client in a wheelchair, and discusses nutritional health with clients and their families. Shack wrote in her nomination letter that Paluk did many extra things for Shack’s mother, including shopping for clothes and shoes that would help prevent her from falling, visiting her regularly, attending a wedding with her and comforting her when she was dying.
