Chapter Helping Confront 

Dementia at Early Stage 

Coping with a diagnosis of 

Alzheimer’s disease or a related 

dementia is never easy. 

For Judy Lindblad and her 

husband, Norm, who was diagnosed 

with Alzheimer’s disease last year, the 

Alzheimer’s Association has helped them 

on the beginning steps of what will likely 

be a long and challenging journey. 

“The Early Stage programs helped 

us to get real with the situation, to figure 

out better ways to talk together about 

Alzheimer's,” said Mrs. Lindblad. 

In 2009, the Alzheimer’s Association 

of Greater Cincinnati created an Early 

Stage Advisory Council, comprised of 

affected individuals in the early stage of 

Norm and Judy Lindblad 

Alzheimer’s or a related dementia. Based 

on the council’s recommendations and the support of the Chapter’s Board of 

Directors, early stage programming was expanded and a full-time coordinator 

position was created this year. 

“The importance of understanding and valuing the experience of those 

in the earliest stages of dementia is an area of concern and priority for our 

Chapter,” said Early Stage Program Coordinator Marjorie Rentz. “Individuals 

are being diagnosed sooner in the disease process, increasing the need for early 

interventions and supportive services that enhance the quality of a person’s life. 

We are thrilled to be able to focus on developing these important programs for 

those individuals and their families.” 

For the Lindblads, their life adjustments have taken many forms, from how 

to communicate the news of the diagnosis with family and friends to the decision 

of driving. 

“Not driving was and is hard. It is a big change in my life and it upset 

me, but I'm OK now,” said Mr. Lindblad. “The more I try to communicate the 

better it is because I am trying to handle things as long as I can. I get frustrated 

but I'm not angry, this is the way it is." 

Based on the recommendations of the Early Stage Advisory Council, the 

Chapter’s Early Stage Programs will focus on education, support and social 

engagement. In May, the Chapter launched its first Early Stage Lecture Series 

bringing in medical and legal experts to talk to diagnosed individuals and their 

families. According to Ms. Rentz, the Lecture Series will be offered twice a year 

– in the spring and fall. 

In addition, the Chapter will launch a support group for people in the early 

stages that will complement the current Living with Alzheimer’s Disease: Early 

Stage Strategy Group.

A Memorable Benefit 

Ashley Kohnen and board member 

Nancy Graeter 

As with many who participate 

in the Walk to End 

Alzheimer’s, Alzheimer’s 

disease is a very personal 

matter to Mindy Ross. 

Her grandmother, Betty Giehls, 

died from Alzheimer’s disease in 

December 2010, just two months 

after her husband of 52 years, Ralph, 

passed away. He was her primary 

caregiver for nearly 8 years when 

the couple lived in Arizona. When 

Betty's Marbles at last year's Walk. 

she eventually required nursing home 

care, he visited her on a daily basis, often several times a day. 

“My grandmother always joked about losing her marbles. We told her that we 

were her marbles and that she would never lose us,” said Ms. Ross. “When we started 

this team, we thought the play on words made a lot of sense.”

Our Mission 

To eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through 

the advancement of research; to provide and 

enhance care and support for all affected; and 

to reduce the risk of dementia through the 

promotion of brain health. 

Various programs and services 

are funded in part by the Ohio 

Department of Aging through the 

Council on Aging of Southwestern 

Ohio and the Area Agency on 

Aging District 7. 

A Word About Us 

Our Reasons to Hope 

et’s get right to it. The 

disease and the numbers are 

devastating. 

Alzheimer’s and related dementias 

steal memory, judgment, identity 

– ultimately robbing those affected 

of the ability to speak, walk and 

perform even the simplest tasks. 

The sixth leading killer in the 

U.S. – one in eight are at risk – 

Alzheimer’s is the only disease of 

the top 10 for which there is no cure or prevention. And 

with 79-million baby boomers turning 65 at the rate of 

10,000 a day for the next 18 years, 

the epidemic nature of this disease 

is undeniable – and heartbreaking 

– physically, emotionally and 

financially. 

It is in the midst of this 

perfect storm that Alzheimer’s is 

stepping out of the shadows onto 

the national stage. 

Thanks to the relentless drive 

and on-going support of Alzheimer’s 

Association advocates like you, the 

first National Alzheimer’s Plan was 

released May 15. In June, the Senate 

Appropriations Committee created 

a bill to fund federal health programs, many related to 

Alzheimer’s in accordance with the recommendations of the 

national plan. 

We are capturing the attention of world leaders and 

decision-makers. 

At the Alzheimer's Association’s 2012 Advocacy Forum 

dinner held in Washington, D.C., April 24, more than 900 

advocates, congresspersons and corporate leaders gave a long 

and loud standing ovation to Pat Summitt, Head Coach 

Emeritus of University of Tennessee, and her son, Tyler when 

they received the “Profiles in Dignity Award” from Maria 

Shriver. Meredith Vieira hosted the event and actress Jane 

Seymour participated as well. 

That night Coach Summitt said, “When the doctors 

told me about this diagnosis, I told them, ‘You don’t know 

me. I have more than a little bit of fight in me.’” 

Then the coach gave the audience that steely blue-eyed 

gaze only she can give and said, “People don’t care how much 

you know, until they know how much you care. We will win. 

We will fight until we beat this disease.’” 

The next day, 800 Alzheimer's Association advocates 

stormed Capitol Hill. We told our stories and shared the 

urgent need for action now. It was an amazing experience, 

and one that won’t stop until this disease is over. 

Just a few decades ago cancer was a death sentence, and 

those with heart disease had few options. Today, treatments 

and preventive interventions for those diseases exist. In the 

1980s, when our country made a commitment to fight HIV 

AIDS, it took about 10 years of dedicated investment to create 

the therapies which have made that disease manageable.

gala dinner in Washington, D.C. 

Now it’s our turn. 

Our chapter is focused on helping those with dementia 

now while supporting research to end this disease. As you’ll 

read in this edition of Cornerstone, we are introducing 

exciting new programming for those in the early stages of the 

Alzheimer’s, including a unique program that provides time 

for caregivers. 

After record-setting events so far this year like The Art 

of Making Memories and our AlzStars who ran the Flying 

Pig Marathon, we look forward to five great Walks to End 

Alzheimer’s in September and October – we hope you’ve 

registered and are recruiting your team. 

And our Summer Symposium and Day for Caregivers 

are back, focused on wellness in the 

face of dementia. Also in August, 

we welcome three new members to 

our board – Kevin Edmonds, Mary 

Ann Jacobs and Jason O’Dell. These 

leaders will join our world-class 

board of directors, who continue to 

make our chapter a national leader. 

So while this journey is among 

the toughest we’ll ever make – there 

are many reasons to hope. Chief 

among them are you and other 

advocates – hundreds of thousands 

strong – with the drive, passion and 

determination to achieve a world 

without Alzheimer’s. 

Because for those with the disease today, and for those 

whose futures we protect, failure is not an option. And, 

because, in the words of Coach Summitt, “We have more 

than a little bit of fight in us.” 

World Alzheimer's 

Month 

In September, the Alzheimer's Association will 

observe the second annual World Alzheimer's Month, 

with a focus on Alzheimer's Action Day (formerly 

known as World Alzheimer's Day) on Friday, Sept. 

21. The Association will continue its efforts to reach 

beyond our current constituents to motivate the 

mainstream public to embrace the cause and "Go 

Purple to End Alzheimer's."

lzheimer’s disease and the caregiving experience take 

a toll on all aspects of life for the diagnosed person 

and that person’s primary caregiver. On a daily basis, 

people can be challenged mentally, physically, emotionally and 

spiritually. Thanks to a special grant, the Greater Cincinnati 

Chapter launched a pilot program in March called Time for 

Caregivers, which runs as a companion to the Memories in the 

Making® program. The new portion of the program allows 

caregivers a brief respite from care and helps them experience 

By Anne Von Hoene different techniques to enhance their coping skills. 

Director of Programs The specific needs we address in the Memories in the 

and Services Making® and Time for Caregivers programs are: first, the lack 

of meaningful activities available for people with Alzheimer’s 

disease, and second, the need to reduce caregiver stress through education, enrichment 

activities, fellowship with other caregivers and the option of time away from caregiving. 

So, what actually happens in these caregiver sessions? Well, I can try to explain it here, 

but my best advice to you is simply to try it and keep an open mind. This program is more 

than a creative activity, and it’s more than a support group. The activities have included 

journaling, painting, poetry writing, working with clay, and more. You can see a sample of 

one participant’s poetry in this issue of Cornerstone. We have found that, through creative 

expression, caregivers have the opportunity to work out some of the stress related to care, 

and while doing so, they gain the support of other caregivers in the group. 

The program is ready to begin its third series of sessions in the fall, with two 

locations offered, and we have space available. Both programs are held once a week for 

10 weeks, in 90 minute sessions. This program is free of charge, but initial screening 

is required and space is limited to about six to eight people per session. Please contact 

Joan Hock at (513) 721-4284, ext. 104 for more information.

Consider Taking a Little ‘Time for Caregivers’ 

A What is Memories in the Making? 

Memories in the Making® 

(Memories) is an interactive program 

designed for persons in the early to middle 

stages of Alzheimer’s disease, or another 

form of dementia, that encourages selfexpression 

through the creative arts. In 

this program, a person with diminished 

verbal and organizational skills can 

engage in productive interaction with 

others via the visual arts, music or writing projects that offer an opportunity 

for expression. The program provides meaningful activities and a safe place 

for the participants to express themselves when words may have failed them. 

Memories is based on the premise that there are no mistakes in creative 

expression, and the process of creating art, music or writing is a powerful 

means of engaging affected individuals throughout the disease process. These 

creative sessions are conducted by trained facilitators with a background 

in the arts and knowledge of dementia and its effects on the abilities of 

diagnosed individuals. 

What is Time for Caregivers? 

Time for Caregivers is a separate program for family members of the 

diagnosed individuals who participate in the Memories in the Making® 

sessions. The goal of Time for Caregivers is to provide stress relief to family 

caregivers through supportive interventions, education, activities and time 

away from caregiving responsibilities. In this program, caregivers have the 

option to participate in a variety of activities focused on health and wellness, 

personal enrichment, supportive fellowship and creative expression, or the 

caregivers may choose to spend that time engaging in their own pursuits, 

such as visiting friends, running errands or having quiet time alone. A social 

worker facilitates the caregiver sessions, and other expert facilitators will be 

included periodically to present special programming such as meditation, 

yoga or other enrichment programs.

Symposium, Caregivers 

Day to Focus on Wellness 


he Alzheimer’s Association of Greater 

Cincinnati is reaching out to area caregivers 

with two major education events in August. 

With the theme “Wellness in the Face of 

Dementia,” the Greater Cincinnati Chapter will 

conduct its 22nd Summer Symposium on Friday, 

Aug. 24. The following day, the Chapter will 

host “A Day for Caregivers.” Both events will be 

held at the METS Center of Northern Kentucky 

University in Erlanger, Ky. 

The Summer Symposium, a day-long educational 

forum designed for healthcare professionals, features 

a variety of workshops focusing on the theme 

of maximizing wellness in the face of dementia. 

Dr. Jennifer Rose Molano, a neurologist with the 

Memory Disorders Center at the University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute, is 

the keynote speaker. 

Registration cost for the Summer Symposium is $90 and includes lunch, 

materials and continuing education units (CEUs). Family caregivers can attend for a 

reduced rate of $55, if they do not need CEUs. 

A Day for Caregivers will be held at the METS Center on Saturday, Aug. 

25 (from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.). The event is free to the public and will feature 

educational workshops and health exhibitors. Although free, advance registration is 

required. Robert Keyes, M.D., Ph.D. will serve as keynote speaker. 

The METS Center is located at 3861 Olympic Blvd., Erlanger, just minutes 

from the Greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport.

“Time and time again, participants of our Early Stage Group ask if they can 

continue to meet with one another in a group setting. This support group will 

provide a venue for participants to continue to meet and support one another,” said 

Ms. Rentz. 

In addition to the Early Stage Strategy group meetings, Mr. Lindblad is also 

participating in the Memories in the Making art program. 

“I feel I have done well and I want to be challenged to do more,” he said. “Our 

children, grandchildren, and friends have been impressed with the paintings I am 

doing on my own and with a friend who is a watercolor artist.” 

Mrs. Lindblad sees other benefits from the Memories program. 

“The Memories program has provided an encouraging, safe space for both 

of us to explore new creative options independently while learning more about 

the disease and ourselves,” she said. “Norm also has a heightened appreciation 

for artwork that makes attending art shows and visiting museums a much richer 

experience than ever before. They are very special times for us.” 

As part of the Early Stage programming, the Chapter offers Early Stage 

Consultation that focuses on coping with and learning about the diagnosis of 

Alzheimer’s. The individual with the diagnosis and his/her care partner will be able 

to discuss feelings of loss and grief while also discussing future care preferences. The 

Chapter will also offer a broad range of opportunities for social engagement (visits 

to museums, parks, and recreation activities) and volunteer opportunities.

Research News 

Studies Show Role Sleep, Exercise Have on Cognitive Health 

A 

series of studies reported at the 2012 Alzheimer's 

Association International Conference 

(AAIC®) in Vancouver July 14-19 

suggests a relationship between sleep quality and 

quantity and the risk of cognitive decline, and 

that interventions to normalize sleep duration 

and correct sleep disorders may not only improve 

quality of life, but have potential to reduce or prevent cognitive decline. 

In addition, several studies described the ability of targeted exercise training to promote 

improved mental functioning and reduce the risk for cognitive impairment and 

dementia in cognitively healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment 

(MCI). 

"We know that sleep patterns change as people age and that poor sleep affects overall 

health. What we don't know for certain is whether poor sleep has long-term consequences 

on cognitive function," said William Thies, Ph.D., Alzheimer's Association 

chief medical and scientific officer. "The studies presented at AAIC suggest that cognitive 

health declines over the long term in some people with sleep problems.” 

Growing evidence suggests that sleep duration that is shorter or longer than the 

recommended seven hours per day may increase risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 

diabetes. However, little research has been conducted examining whether sleep duration 

influences cognition among older individuals. 

Elizabeth Devore, ScD, of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, and colleagues 

examined data for more than 15,000 participants in the Nurses' Health Study. All were 

age 70 or older at their first cognitive examination between 1995 and 2000. The scientists 

found that: 

• Participants who slept five hours per day or less had lower average 

cognition than those who slept seven hours per day. 

• Those who slept nine hours per day or more also had lower average 

cognition than those who slept seven hours per day 

• Too little or too much sleep was cognitively equivalent to aging 

by two years. 

When the researchers evaluated the effects of change in sleep duration from mid- to 

later- life, they observed that women whose sleep changed by two hours per day or more 

had worse cognitive function than those with no change in sleep duration, independent 

of their initial sleep duration. 

"Our findings support the notion that extreme sleep durations and changes in sleep 

duration over time may contribute to cognitive decline and early Alzheimer's changes in 

older adults," Devore said. 

To better understand the potential relationship between sleep and cognitive decline, 

Dr. Claudine Berr of INSERM in Montpellier, France, and colleagues examined data 

from the French Three-City Study, an ongoing, long-term, multisite study of the relationship 

between vascular disease and dementia in community-dwelling individuals age 

65 or older. Cognitive data were obtained at baseline and at two, four, and eight years' 

follow-up. 

Researchers analyzed data from 4,894 nondemented study participants who had 

completed sleep questionnaires. Cognitive decline was defined as a decrease of four or 

more points on the MMSE at the three follow-up points. They found that excessive 

daytime sleepiness, which was reported by 17.9 percent of participants, independently 

increased risk of cognitive decline. In contrast, difficulty maintaining sleep, reported by 

63.5 percent of participants, was negatively associated with risk of cognitive decline. 

"These results suggest that excessive daytime sleepiness may be an early predictor 

of cognitive decline and that sleep complaints should be adequately evaluated in older

In addition to a research 

presentation to physicians

persons," said Dr. Berr. 

In regards to physical activity and its effect on cognitive skills, the reports from six 

and 12-month randomized controlled clinical trials, depict the beneficial effects of different 

types of exercise – resistance training, aerobic training, and balance-stretching training 

– on a variety of cognitive abilities. 

"Currently, the strongest data for lifestyle-based Alzheimer's risk reduction is for 

physical activity, yet this data is generally observational and considered preliminary," said 

Dr. Thies. "These new intervention studies are taking place over longer periods of time to 

begin to clarify exactly which types of physical activity are most effective.” 

It is generally accepted that regular physical activity is essential to healthy aging. It 

also may prove to be a strategy to delay or prevent the onset of cognitive impairment and 

dementia. 

"There is growing interest in lifestyle factors and interventions that enhance the cognitive 

vitality of older adults. However, very little is understood regarding the molecular 

processes that contribute to enhanced brain health with exercise, or the impact that greater 

brain volume has on cognitive function," said Kirk Erickson of the University of Pittsburgh. 

Dr. Erickson and his colleagues randomly selected 120 older adults without dementia 

who have been sedentary for the previous six months to a moderate intensity walking 

group or a stretching-toning group for one year. MRI was used to measure the size of a 

brain region associated with memory, known as the hippocampus, both before and after 

the exercise intervention. Blood was drawn to measure concentrations of brain-derived 

neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and a cognitive testing battery was conducted before and 

after the intervention. 

The researchers found that, in this study group, one year of exercise training increased 

the size of the hippocampus by two percent (2%) in the walking group compared to 

the stretching-toning group (significant shrinking of the hippocampus is characteristic 

of Alzheimer's disease.) The increase in hippocampal volume was correlated with similar 

changes in BDNF. 

Exercise and regular physical activity may prove to be promising intervention strategies 

to postpone or prevent Alzheimer's dementia, but perhaps not all types of training are 

equally effective, say researchers. 

Compared with the balance and tone group, the resistance training group in one 

Canadian study significantly improved performance on the Stroop Test, which measures 

selective attention and conflict resolution, and a memory task. Resistance training also led 

to functional changes in three brain regions involved in memory. In contrast, the aerobic 

training group did not show similar improvements. 

"MCI is a critical window to intervene against dementia," said Dr. Liu-Ambrose. 

"We found that twice-weekly resistance training is a promising strategy to alter the trajectory 

of cognitive decline in seniors with MCI." 

More than 4,000 professionals in the field of Alzheimer’s research representing 60 

countries attended the conference. For additional information on other research studies 

released at the AAIC, please visit: www.alz.org/aaic.

What is TrialMatch? 

lzheimer’s Association TrialMatch is easy to use – with web and phone support, 

specially trained staff and tools developed with input from people with Alzheimer’s. 

Since the service launched in July 2010, more than 13,000 individuals have 

registered to search for Alzheimer’s clinical trials. Currently, Alzheimer's Association 

TrialMatch lists 131 research studies with 545 local trial sites nationwide. 

Specialists at the Alzheimer’s Association’s national Helpline – available 24-hours 

a day – assist in the process of matching individuals to clinical trials for which they are 

eligible based on study criteria, diagnosis, treatment history and location. They answer 

questions about the trial process and connect individuals with trial sites based on their 

unique profile. Patients and caregivers are encouraged to share their trial matches with 

their healthcare professionals to help decide whether a clinical 

trial is appropriate. 

How to use Alzheimer's Association TrialMatch 

STEP 1: Access TrialMatch online at www.alz.org/TrialMatch or by calling 

(800) 272-3900, press option 1 for TrialMatch. 

STEP 2: Complete a brief questionnaire, either online or over the phone, to create 

a profile. 

STEP 3: Based on specified eligibility criteria (i.e., diagnosis, treatment history, 

location), the Alzheimer’s Association will match your unique profile to its 

clinical trial database. 

STEP 4: With your permission, an Alzheimer’s Association specialist will contact you to 

provide unbiased trial result options and trial site contact information. 

Specialists will not recommend any particular trial, but will help you identify 

trials that match your specific eligibility and criteria. Alzheimer’s Association 

TrialMatch specialists are available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT, Monday 

through Friday.

Following My Heart Has 

Brought Me to Chapter 

By Krista Powers 

Development Director 

A 

2012 Walk to End Alzheimer's Schedule 

Silver 

lthough four months have already flown by since 

I arrived at this dynamic organization, this is 

my first “Cornerstone opportunity” to introduce 

myself. As I’ve thought about what to say, I have a deep 

desire to speak directly to every single person reading 

this – to every passionate, important, special person who 

makes up the community of the Alzheimer’s Association 

- to you! 

My thoughts keep drifting to the lyrics of a 

Christopher Williams song, “Step inside my heart but 

walk gently; I know you’ve come a long way. Step inside 

my heart, cause we need to be together; If we’re going to 

make it through these days.” 

For years I’ve talked about my heart’s desire to work in the field of aging. 

From my upbringing in Oregon, Ohio; to college days at Xavier; to volunteer 

service in Anchorage; and work in Portland, Oregon; to graduate school in Ann 

Arbor; and finally to where I am now…that desire has never waned. It’s not 

surprising to me that just as Brigid Mercer was embarking on the next step of 

her life, I landed here – a place where I can finally put my whole self into my 

work – my calling. I’ve come a long way and many have molded my heart to be 

prepared for this time and for this place. 

As I meet volunteers and board members, donors and walkers, I notice that 

we are together in this fight – and that, my friends, moves me deeply. We have 

all traveled a long way and I am grateful for the ways you are welcoming me with 

an open heart. I firmly believe we need to be together as we fight this disease and 

as we support one another in our journeys. Please call on me any time. 

And to you, I extend the invitation to walk, to share your story, to give 

generously, to volunteer, and to think of new ways you can be together with us, 

and so many others, as we travel toward our mission this year. 

FOR CHARITY 

Benefiting Alzheimer’s 

Last year, Ms. Ross was 

one of the top individual 

fundraisers at the Cincinnati/ 

Northern Kentucky Walk, 

raising more than $3,300. 

Along with her husband, Dave, 

she will lead her 20-member 

family team again this year. 

“It is sometimes difficult 

to feel that you can make a 

difference with an issue as large 

as Alzheimer’s but with the 

Betty and Ralph Giehls 

Walks you feel like every dollar 

can help,” she said. “It is nice to share the experience as a family.” 

After moving from Newport, Ky. to Landon, Ohio, last fall, the Ross family 

will focus their efforts on the Butler, Warren & Clinton Counties Walk to End 

Alzheimer’s in West Chester on Sept. 15. This will be the family’s third Walk venue. 

“My Paps used to take Grams to the Alzheimer’s Walks in Tucson and he used 

the Association’s services there,” said Ms. Ross. “For us here, it is rewarding to do 

something positive to remember my grandparents and the love they had for one 

another.” 

As the primary national fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association, Walk to 

End Alzheimer’s is an annual event that brings the community together in a show 

of remembrance and support for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Proceeds 

from the event will directly fund programs and services of the Greater Cincinnati 

Chapter as well as national research efforts. 

“We were overwhelmed by the generosity of teams like Betty’s Marbles,” said 

Development Director Krista Powers. “It is our hope that people will again actively 

support the walk in their community because the need continues to grow.” 

To register for a Walk to End Alzheimer’s event close to you, please fill out 

the registration form inserted in this edition of Cornerstone or visit: www.alz.

Alzheimer’s Plan Rises Above Political Rhetoric 

W 

hile the upcoming presidential election will 

dominate our nation’s political discussion over the 

next several months, the Alzheimer’s Association 

continues to make sure that Alzheimer’s disease remains an 

issue of importance for legislators. 

When I attended the Alzheimer’s Association’s National 

Advocacy Forum in Washington, D.C. in April, I was 

struck not only by the size of the event, but the enthusiasm 

and optimism exhibited by those attending. A record 800 

advocates, including more than 200 “first-timers,” attended 

the three-day event. 

When we traveled to Capitol Hill to visit with members 

of Congress on the final day of the forum, it was impossible 

to miss our advocates and their purple sashes. While 

our individual stories were different, everyone had the 

same request of their respective members of Congress – support for the National 

Alzheimer’s Plan. 

Shortly after the Forum, the National Alzheimer’s Plan was formally released in 

May. While the National Plan supports the full spectrum of what those living with 

Alzheimer’s need every day: more education, improved care and community support 

and effective treatments, it also identified five specific goals, including: 

• Prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer’s by 2025: 

This encompasses new resources that the Obama Administration 

announced in February, including $50 million that was immediately 

available and a proposed $80 million for research in the President’s 2013 

budget request. 

• Optimize care quality and efficiency: 

This specific element includes a $6 million investment over two years in 

provider education and outreach for physicians. 

Advocates in Action 

A 

lzheimer’s advocates were busy promoting priority elements of the 

National Alzheimer’s Plan to federal and state legislators this spring.

Ellen Kershaw, Tim Hyler and Chapter Communications Director Steve 

Olding met with Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY). 

Bottom photo: more than 230 advocates from across Ohio attended the

Selcer, Rosemary Huhn, Jean Harlow, Gordon Milne and Janet Milne; bottom

Amy Kruep and Carolyn Finkelmeier. 

Public Policy/Chapter News 

• Expand support for people with the disease and their caregivers: 

This includes a proposed investment of $10.5 million to support the 

needs of caregivers. 

• Enhance public awareness and engagement: 

This includes several public awareness initiatives starting this year, 

including the launch of a new government Website: alzheimers.gov. 

• Track progress and drive improvement: 

This goal includes a proposed investment of more than $1 million for 

data collection, which could help to foster an environment of 

information sharing and increased understanding about the impact of the 

disease on families and the nation’s health care system. 

To build upon the success of the National Alzheimer’s Plan, the Association will 

conduct a series of Town Hall meetings in August and September. The purpose of the 

meetings will be to highlight local chapter activities and programs, discuss the National 

Alzheimer’s Plan and allow the public to provide input. 

In addition to supporting these important federal initiatives, the Greater 

Cincinnati Chapter works closely with our sister chapters in Ohio and Kentucky on 

a variety of state advocacy projects and activities, including the annual Alzheimer’s 

Advocacy Day in Kentucky and the Ohio Memory Day in Columbus. These events 

provide Alzheimer advocates an opportunity to meet with state legislators to discuss 

their concerns regarding Alzheimer’s disease and its impact on their state. 

Whether it’s in Washington, D.C., Columbus or Frankfort, Alzheimer advocates 

are speaking in a loud and clear voice to their legislators. 

As an Association we continue to build a stronger and better informed network 

of advocates - both locally and nationally. But if we are to truly succeed in our mission 

of advocacy on behalf of the millions of families touched by this disease today and the 

many more to follow; our base of advocates must continue to grow. Today, more than 

ever, your voice needs to be heard.

"I 

It Has Been a Privilege 

would thank you from the 

bottom of my heart, but for 

you my heart has no bottom.” 

- Anonymous 

By Marcy Hawkins 

As I finish my journey at the 

Alzheimer’s Association and travel 

back to my Indiana hometown, I 

Marcy and her family 

cannot even begin to express how 

grateful and honored I am to have had this wonderful opportunity to serve you and work 

beside you on this very important mission. For nearly seven years, you have shared your 

personal stories and allowed me to walk with you through the good times and bad. So 

many of you have become like family to me. 

Your friendship, passion, dedication and determination are things I’ll take with me 

as I start my next journey. But, I would be greatly remiss to not take a moment to thank 

you for: 

• Continually spreading awareness of Alzheimer’s and the Chapter’s programs and 

services to everyone you meet 

• Taking on the challenge of team captain, team member or individual who fundraises 

for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association 

• Serving on any special events planning committee or volunteering the day of an 

event, ensuring that all details are secured for a most successful outcome 

• Moving Walk to End Alzheimer’s to the next level (raising more than $508,000 

last year) 

As Walk season gets closer and closer, I urge you to get involved now. Register as an 

individual or as a team today by visiting alz.org/cincinnati and start raising money today. 

You can also join a planning committee or serve as a volunteer on the day of the Walk. 

Whatever it is you do during Walk season – do it with passion and commitment for those 

who are living with this disease and those caring for them every day. The mission demands 

more from all of us! Please, keep pushing forward...keep fundraising through Walk... 

keep spreading the word about Alzheimer’s disease and that the Alzheimer’s Association of 

Greater Cincinnati is here to help. 

Please contact the Development team at (513) 721-4284 for all of your events and 

fundraising needs. They are here and ready to help you in any way they can to make this 

the best Walk season yet! 

My deepest gratitude to all of you.
