Chapter Carries Legacy 

of Support to Caregivers 

(Editor’s note: This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater 

Cincinnati. Each issue of Cornerstone in 2008 will feature a story focusing on a particular 

aspect of the chapter’s history. In this issue- the chapter’s early years are highlighted.) 

iana Trenkamp remembers her first 

meeting of caregivers and health 

care professionals at the University 

of Cincinnati in 1981. The focus of the 

meeting was Alzheimer’s disease. 

“There must have been more than 100 

people in attendance…there were people 

lined out the door. It was obvious that 

there was a definite need for education in 

our community,” said Mrs. Trenkamp, who 

played a major role in the development 

of what eventually became the Alzheimer’s 

Association of Greater Cincinnati. 

Originally founded as a support group 

for caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s 

disease and related dementias, the Cincinnati 

chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association was 

officially granted 501 c (3) status by the state of Ohio in 1983. But the chapter’s 

origins date back several years earlier when a small group of Alzheimer family 

caregivers, including chapter founders Elizabeth Bolles, Janet Trame, Anne Shapero 

and Erline Hawkins first began conducting group meetings for caregivers. 

When the group heard about the creation of the Alzheimer’s Association 

(then based in New York) in 1980, they applied for membership. The first 

chapter-sponsored family support group was formed in 1983 and met in a 

private home on the west side of Cincinnati. A quarterly newsletter, with an 

initial mailing list of about 200, was 

also distributed to interested member 

families and professionals. The chapter 

also offered caregiver support via the 

telephone – what would become known 

as “helpline.” 

“As board president, Betty (Bolles) 

conducted chapter business from her 

home and responded to many of the 

helpline calls herself,” said Mrs. Trenkamp 

who was hired in August, 1983 and served 

20 years as chapter executive director. 

A booth at Fountain Square was an early effort to get 

word out about the new Alzheimer’s Association chapter.

‘Broadway Bound’ Benefit 

To Honor Sammarcos 

T 

he Alzheimer’s 

Association of 

Greater Cincinnati 

will honor the 

philanthropic efforts of 

Ruthann and Dr. James 

Sammarco at its “Broadway 

Bound” Benefit at the Westin 

Hotel in Cincinnati on 

Saturday, May 3. 

The black-tie optional 

event features a dinner of 

fine food and wine, live and 

silent auctions and a special 

musical performance by Mary Ellen Tanner. Author and culinary expert Marilyn 

Harris will serve as emcee for this year’s benefit, which begins with a reception at 

6 p.m. 

The highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the Chapter’s 

“Philanthropists of the Year” Award to James and Ruthann Sammarco in 

recognition of their long-time support of numerous Tri-state organizations and 

causes, including the Alzheimer’s Association. Past recipients of the award include 

Dan Meyer and Matth and LaVerne Toebben. 

“It is fitting that during our 25th anniversary as an Alzheimer’s Association 

chapter that we honor Ruthann and Jim, two people who have done so much for 

our organization as well as so many other worthy causes,” said Executive Director 

Clarissa Rentz. 

In addition to sponsorships and corporate tables, benefit organizers are 

currently seeking donated items that can be used for the silent and live auctions. 

“We are in particular need of high-price items for our live auction,” said 

Marcy Hawkins, Special Events and Volunteer coordinator. “A vacation get-away, 

box suites for the Reds or Bengals or concert tickets would be great additions to 

our auction.” 

Ticket prices are $175 per person; $200 for patrons, $400 for benefactors and 

$2,000 for Silver Anniversary friends (a table of 10). 

The event is co-chaired by Katharina Schulten and Carolyn Finkelmeier. 

Planning committee members include Antigone Geromes, Shirlee Margolin, Tom 

Osterman, Shad Ramsey, Pamela Reising, Judy Schlagheck, Karen Sorah, Julie 

Uhrig and Lucy Ward. 

To RSVP or to sponsor the event, please contact Mrs. Hawkins at (513) 721-

2 • Cornerstone • Spring 2008 

2008 008 is a is significant a significant year 

for us (as they all have been) 

but this is more so because it is 

the Alzheimer’s Association’s 25th 

year as a non-profit organization 

delivering family and educational 

programming to those living with 

Alzheimer’s disease and the other 

dementias in Greater Cincinnati. 

What started in 1983 as a support 

By Clarissa Rentz group and evolved into a one 

Executive Director woman show, in a one room 

office, with one telephone and a 

very small budget has now grown to a staff of 20 utilizing 

sizable office space and many communication modalities, 

with an annual budget that has grown to approximately 

$1.4 million. 

In terms of understanding the disease process, much 

has changed as well. This past 25 years have seen 

great advances in the understanding of the molecular, 

biochemical and biological mechanisms associated with 

the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease and the other 

dementias. We have seen phenomenal growth in the 

area of care; with an abundance of dementia facilities 

and products geared toward the care of persons with 

dementing illnesses. Unfortunately, this growth in care 

services and products parallels the increase in the number 

of affected individuals we are seeing in our communities 

nationally and locally. 

If we look at the most recent numbers released by 

the National Alzheimer’s Association, by year 2050 we 

anticipate that there will be approximately 120,000 

affected individuals in our chapter territory. Indeed we are 

facing an emerging epidemic while dealing with a slowing 

economy. This impacts our families especially in the 

areas of health care affordability, accessibility and for the 

chapter, families’ philanthropic giving, which ultimately 

affects our ability to fund our programs and services. 

Over the past 25 years, through targeted core programs 

for families and affected individuals, our chapter has 

served thousands and thousands of individuals all for no 

or a very limited fee for service. As a nurse who has dealt 

with this disease on a professional and personal level for 

close to 15 years, I wish I could say that the next 25 years 

will be a different story and the Alzheimer’s Association 

will not be in existence. However, this may not the case 

so the Board and staff will need to think about how we 

continue to serve our families and affected individuals 

free of charge in difficult times with unexpected negative 

turns in the economy. 

Of course it is our hope to be freely accessible to families 

and individuals affected by the dementing disorders but 

this may not be possible without relying on the generosity 

of our volunteers and supporters. Our volunteers are our 

greatest hope for the future success of our organization. 

We so strongly believe in this concept that we have 

addressed the role and the importance of the volunteer in 

strengthening our chapter’s capacity in our strategic plan 

for FY 2009-2011. We acknowledge that we must look 

to volunteers to augment our clinical and development 

staff in the delivery of programs, services and volunteer 

development functions. Presently we have nearly 300 

volunteers who assist us in our advocacy, administrative 

Mission Statement 

The Alzheimer’s Association of 

Greater Cincinnati is committed to 

support, education, advocacy and 

research on behalf of those affected 

by Alzheimer’s disease. 

A Word About Us 

A 25-Year Commitment to Caring 

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. 

and fundraising areas. They are capable and often speak 

from the heart because they have experienced the disease 

first hand and believe passionately in our cause. Wouldn’t 

it be wonderful if we could bolster our volunteer base 

to four times our current number so during those tough 

times we can better serve our constituency and sustain 

our vital programs and services? Then we can utilize the 

passion and voice of the volunteer to help us carry the 

load. These are our untapped philanthropists. 

Honoring Those Who Give of Time and Talent 

We try to honor the many volunteers and philanthropists 

who have made our world at the Alzheimer’s Association 

a better place. All are important to us but every year 

we highlight one person who over the years has made 

a difference, who gives freely and without need for 

recognition or expectation of anything in return. On 

May 3, at our Spring Benefit, the Alzheimer’s Association 

will not only focus on our 25 years of commitment 

and service to the community but will also honor 

an individual who has had significant impact on our 

organization. This year we have chosen not one person 

but two; a devoted couple who are not only well known 

to the Alzheimer’s Association but also to the arts and 

health related communities. They are Ruthann and Dr. 

Jim Sammarco. We at the Association are fortunate to 

have them as long time supporters. Ruthann and Jim 

have given often to the chapter, first through Ruthann’s 

service as a board member and member of the executive 

committee and Jim’s support of her work at the chapter. 

Ruthann has been a constant and faithful board member, 

always available to counsel and guide. Ruthann and Jim 

have opened their home and wine cellar, hosted lovely 

dinners prepared by nationally known chefs all to the 

support and benefit of the association’s programs and 

services. I invite you all to join us as the Alzheimer’s 

Association is Broadway Bound to honor the Sammarcos 

in style and with great appreciation. 

As the executive director now for 16 months, I have 

been privileged to meet and speak to many generous 

individuals; volunteers who are there for us, during 

rain and shine; people who continue to donate needed 

dollars monthly or yearly on an ongoing basis because 

they believe in our mission. They are our constant and 

generous volunteer cheerleaders and supporters. Mr. 

Carl Lindner, and many like him are providing a solid 

foundation so that we can meet whatever demands face 

us in the coming years. When I review what I have 

written in these columns over the past 16 months, I note 

a common theme; one of thanks but also constant appeals 

for help. Please forgive me if I am repetitive but know that 

I am doing so on behalf of those who repeat because they 

have forgotten and who cannot coherently ask for help. 

So here it is, if you have a skill and a need to help 

others in some way, please call us and let us know your 

preferences. We have a variety of job and tasks; answering 

the phones, volunteering at events, helping with our 

Memory Walks, assisting with administrative tasks, all 

which help to keep our office running efficiently and 

effectively. Without you we cannot meet the demands 

of an emerging silent epidemic known as Alzheimer’s 

disease.

Caregiver News 

Support Groups Create Common Bond 

imilar needs. Similar experiences. Similar 

emotions. When it comes to discussing 

the many challenges and caregiving issues 

surrounding Alzheimer’s disease, familiarity can 

be a good thing. 

For Roger and Carol Rosenthal, facilitators of an 

Alzheimer’s Association Family Support Group in 

Montgomery for the past 18 months, the experience 

has been both personally beneficial and gratifying. 

Having lost both of their mothers to Alzheimer’s 

disease, the couple has experienced first-hand many of 

the issues often discussed at the meetings. 

“When my mother (Annette) had Alzheimer’s, my 

sister and father attended a support group but I never 

went,” said Mr. Rosenthal. “It wasn’t until Carol’s 

mom (Eva) had Alzheimer’s that we started going to an 

Alzheimer’s support group.” 

Family Support Groups offer caregivers and family 

members of individuals affected by Alzheimer’s disease an opportunity to meet 

and share their personal experiences. The monthly meetings are conducted in 

community settings that offer convenience for participants. 

“One of the most important aspects of the support group experience is the 

realization by participants that they are not alone. The fact that others are going 

through the same things can be a real source of comfort,” said Chapter Program 

Director Anne Von Hoene. 

After attending a “When the Diagnosis is Alzheimer’s disease” series program, 

the Rosenthals decided to attend the family support group in their area. After two 

years of being group participants, they decided to take training to serve as FSG 

facilitators. Their group meets the second Monday of each month at the Church 

of the Savior, 8005 Pfeiffer Road. 

The Rosenthals say the experience has been a very positive one. 

“We always share our own stories to put the new people at ease,” said Mr. 

Anniversary from page 1 

Business was conducted from residences until 1984 when the chapter moved 

into office space donated by Cincinnati Area Senior Services (CASS) at the Holiday 

Office Park in Queensgate - the site of the current Cincinnati office. CASS provided 

the fledgling chapter with a desk and one telephone line for helpline. 

“When they (CASS) moved to the 10th floor, the chapter moved into a small 

office. By then we began attracting professionals who were assisting us with the 

support groups,” said Mrs. Trenkamp, who conducted the day-to-day administration 

of the chapter for 20 hours a week - $5 an hour. 

During its first year, the chapter had an operational budget of $35,000 - with the 

majority of funding coming from memorial donations and paid memberships from 

families. The chapter’s first organized “fundraiser” was a treasure chest raffle. Items 

were collected for inclusion in a treasure chest and raffle tickets sold for a winner take 

all. The raffle raised about $2,000.

people to open up.” 

Groups often range in number from five to 15 

participants. Although the make-up of the group changes 

with time, lasting relationships do develop. 

“You become really close to some of the people,” said 

Mrs. Rosenthal. “We have made friends through the 

group.” 

Although much of the discussion centers on the daily 

challenges and emotional aspects of dealing with a family 

member affected by Alzheimer’s disease, facilitators will 

share advice with the group 

“We always tell people that you can’t be a good caregiver 

unless you first take care of yourself,” said Mr. Rosenthal. 

“So often, people forget that.”

In Your Community 

Support groups are small discussion groups designed for caregivers, family 

members and friends of people with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. 

These groups provide participants with an opportunity to discuss caregiving 

challenges and share helpful tips, while receiving support and understanding 

from others in similar situations. 

All of the Greater Cincinnati Chapter’s affiliated support groups meet once 

per month. Call our Helpline at (513) 721-4284 or 1-800-272-3900 (toll free) 

for the most current information about support groups in your area. 

Within months, however, 

donors from various sources 

began taking a much more 

active role in supporting the 

chapter. 

In 1983, The Greater 

Cincinnati Foundation awarded 

the first (about $2,000) of 

many grants to the Alzheimer’s 

Association of Cincinnati to 

support chapter programs and 

services. 

“The Foundation gift 

was a sign that we were being 

recognized for our mission and 

our work,” said Mrs. Trenkamp. 

“It was very important to our 

credibility.” 

From left, the late Betty Bolles, Anne Shapero and 

Diana Trenkamp. 

With the support of Bill Templin, Ameristop was the first corporate sponsor of 

the local Memory Walk. The chapter’s first walk in 1989 raised about $23,000. In 

addition, Chi Omega Sorority began conducting a black-tie fundraiser that would 

eventually develop into the annual Spring Benefit. During this period, the chapter 

also received its first major foundation gift – a three-year grant totaling $75,000 from 

the Corbett Foundation. 

The increased financial support enabled the chapter to hire full-time professional 

staff. 

In 1989, Jane Spille, a psychiatric nurse, was hired as the chapter’s first program 

director. Her husband, Jack, would become a long-time board member and “recruiter” 

for the chapter. 

“At one time we had just about everyone from Jack’s men’s club members on the 

board,” said Mrs. Trenkamp. “He brought in a number of people who really did a lot 

for us.”

Making A Connection 

With Minority Community 

By Regina McDonald 

Multicultural Outreach 

Coordinator 

R 


ecent studies indicate that African-Americans 

appear to be at greater risk for developing 

dementia-type diseases due to genetic and 

environmental risk factors such as cardiovascular 

disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol, obesity 

and diabetes. 

A similar correlation between health risk factors 

and dementia in the Hispanic/Latino population is also 

being found in many new studies. This is particularly 

alarming given the fact that Hispanic/Latinos are the 

fasting growing minority population in the United 

States. Recent reports also indicate that strokes may be a contributing factor 

for developing Alzheimer’s disease and other dementing illnesses within the 

African-American community. 

Currently, the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Heart Association 

and the American Stroke Association are partnering to create greater public 

awareness about the connection between cardiovascular risks and brain health. 

Cardiovascular diseases are prevalent within many minority populations which 

can put many African-Americans, Hispanic/Latinos and other minorities at 

risk for developing vascular related dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. 

Celebrating 25 years of service, the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater 

Cincinnati is here to help and provide hope to those dealing with dementia. 

We offer a variety of programs and services targeting many phases of the care 

giving journey. April is Minority Health Month and it is important to not only 

recognize but to target health care needs of the minority community. A number 

of our chapter programs specifically address the needs and concerns of African- 

Americans and Hispanic/Latinos, such as our African-American Caregiver 

Forum and our community Promotora de Salud education program. 

We also provide early educational intervention in the elementary, middle 

and high schools through health education. Alzheimer’s disease does not 

discriminate between the rich and the poor, the well educated and the 

uneducated, or African American, Hispanic/Latino and White. The Alzheimer’s 

Association is here to provide education, help and hope to all – let’s make the 

connection! 

Please mark your calendar – the 2008 African-American Family Caregiver 

Forum will be held on Friday, Oct. 31. Further details on the forum will be 

announced later this summer.

Cincinnati Chapter Unveils 

New Web Site 

he Alzheimer’s Association 

of Greater Cincinnati has a 

Web site with a new look 

and a new address. 

The updated Web site was 

unveiled in January with a new 

address: www.alz.org/cincinnati. The 

site features complete information 

on local programs and services as 

well as special events. 

“For a growing segment of the 

public, the Internet is becoming a 

primary source of information on 

Alzheimer’s disease,” said Steve Olding, Chapter Communications director. 

“Usage of our chapter Web site, for example, has doubled in the past three years 

while calls to our Helpline have stayed about the same in number. More people 

are coming to us for information, but a growing percentage of people are using 

a different method to obtain information from us.” 

During the past fiscal year, the chapter site recorded more than 1.4 million 

hits from 30,000 individual users. 

A 

Alzhemed Clinical Trial 

Results Disappointing 

fter consulting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 

revising its statistical model, Neurochem has completed its statistical 

analysis and released the results of the company’s first Phase III clinical 

trial of Tramiprosate (Alzhemed) which was held in the United States 

and Canada. 

While the trials found numerical differences between people taking the 

drug and those taking a placebo, the results, both on cognitive functioning and 

daily activities, did not reach statistical significance. 

The trial results highlight the important need for more volunteers to 

participate in Alzheimer’s clinical studies. Recruiting and retaining study 

participants is one of the greatest impediments to developing the next 

generation of Alzheimer treatments. 

For more information on clinical trials, visit: www.alz.org, Clinical Trials 

Index. 

“She knows Northern Kentucky well and understands our mission 

of service.” 

As an adult learner, Ms. Drews earned a degree in Social Work 

from Northern Kentucky University and a master’s degree in Social 

Work from the University of Kentucky. A certified social worker in 

Kentucky, she has a personal connection to dementia. Last year, her 

mother, Agnes, was diagnosed with dementia. 

“I am honored to join the Alzheimer’s Association and look 

forward to helping families in Northern Kentucky,” said Ms. Drews. 

“I know that there is a great need in Northern Kentucky for many 

families and I hope to be a source of support for them.” 

Ms. Drews has two children, Deanna and Debbie, and three 

step-children, Gary, Nicki and Bob. She and her husband, Gary, 

reside in Taylor Mill.

Join Celebrities As 

Alzheimer’s Champion 

oday, an estimated 5 million people in the United States have Alzheimer’s 

disease, and by 2050, there will be almost a million new cases a year — unless 

we do something about it now. 

That’s why celebrities from the worlds of entertainment and sports, including 

Penny Marshall, Garry Marshall, Ronny Marshall, Molly Sims, Wayne Brady and 

Leeza Gibbons, have lent their faces and voices to help the Alzheimer’s Association 

challenge 5 million Americans – one for every person with the disease – to learn about 

Alzheimer’s and become an Alzheimer’s Champion. 

The celebrity Champions are highlighted in a series of compelling photographs 

that will be exhibited across the country. In addition, national television, print and 

radio advertising aims to dispel public misperceptions and move people to take action 

in the fight against Alzheimer’s in the following ways: 

• ACT now to end Alzheimer’s – learn about the disease and get involved in the fight. 

• VOICE your support – become an advocate, help spread the word about the disease 

and tell your story. 

• MOVE the Alzheimer’s Association’s cause forward – join a Memory Walk or 

volunteer at a local chapter. 

• OPEN your mind – learn the facts about Alzheimer’s and donate to the 

Association. 

Learn more about how you can become a Champion by visiting www.alz.org. 


Chapter Honors Volunteers For Service 

T 

he Alzheimer’s Association of Greater 

Cincinnati thanked its supporters while 

honoring three individuals with special 

awards of recognition at the 2007 Chapter 

Leadership Luncheon at the Kenwood Country 

Club in November. 

An audience of nearly 120 volunteers, donors 

and sponsors enjoyed a luncheon and awards 

program recognizing the many contributions 

made by supporters to the Greater Cincinnati 

Chapter during the past year. Approximately 

325 volunteers contributed more than 4,500 

hours of service to the Greater Cincinnati 

Chapter during the past year. 

“The generous donation of time, effort and 

treasure from all our volunteers, donors and 

sponsors enables our chapter to better serve 

the thousands of families in the Tri-state area 

who are affected by Alzheimer’s disease,” said 

Executive Director Clarissa Rentz. “We are 

truly grateful for their generous support.” 

Mary Ann Jacobs, Esq., received the 

Presidents Award - the chapter’s highest honor 

- for her exemplary service to the Greater 

Cincinnati Chapter. Ms. Jacobs, an attorney 

with Ritter & Randolph, LLC, current serves as 

president of the chapter’s board of directors. 

“Mary Ann has been a true friend to our 

chapter and instrumental in helping our chapter 

grow,” said Ms. Rentz, who presented the 

award to Ms. Jacobs. “Her leadership and legal 

expertise has been a tremendous help to me 

personally.” 

In addition to her long-time service to the 

board, Ms. Jacobs has served on the chapter’s 

governance and executive committees and has 

From left, Clarissa Rentz, Mary Ann Jacobs 

and Curtis Sellers 

From left, Beth Schumacher, Clarissa Rentz 

and Steve Schumacher 

been a long-time supporter of the chapter’s fundraising 

events. She has also served as a presenter at the Summer 

Symposium. 

The Greater Cincinnati Chapter also honored Curtis 

Sellers and Steve Schumacher for their outstanding 

contributions to the chapter. 

Mr. Sellers, president and CEO of Curtis Inc. Visual 

Communications, was presented the John Horn “Roll 

Up Your Sleeves” Memorial Award for his support of 

the production of a chapter video. The 10-minute video 

featured interviews with family caregivers regarding 

their personal stories about Alzheimer’s disease and the 

support their families received through the programs 

and services provided by the Alzheimer’s Association 

of Greater Cincinnati. 

“For years we wanted to create a video that would 

tell our story in a personal and effective manner, but we 

didn’t have the money to do it. When we approached 

Curt with the idea, he not only agreed to donate his 

firm’s services, but they went that extra mile in creating 

a truly special video,” said Communications Director 

Steve Olding, who presented the award. 

Steve Schumacher of Cincinnati was presented the 

Elizabeth Bolles Outstanding Service Award for his 

long-time support of the chapter’s Memory Walk as 

well as his countless hours of work on various chapter 

events. 

“Steve is a great example of what every volunteer 

should be,” said Ms. Rentz. “I don’t think anyone has 

contributed more volunteer hours over the past decade

Poetry Corner 

When she was diagnosed; 

All we could depend on was 

Hope. 

We knew our lives would hurt, 

Because of a disease called Alzheimer’s. 

I knew she couldn’t remember, 

The times we shared; 

But would she still hug, kiss, love or care? 

Sad sorrow; 

She didn’t know who to follow. 

Each step she tried to take; 

Failure always came her way. 

But when I see worse suffer; 

I have to thank God for this Grandmother. 

No matter how bad she gets; 

I will always be there. 

Because some of God’s greatest gifts, 

Are unanswered prayers; 

Even though these are our times of despair. 

Written by Crystal Greene-Pierce, in loving 

memory of her grandmother.

Valentine’s Dance Offers Heart to Chapter 

F 

or Cris Suesz, the loss of her father, Charles McQueen, to Alzheimer’s disease three 

years ago prompted the idea for a Valentine’s Day dance benefit in Boone County. 

This year’s benefit at Briarwood Banquet Hall in Hebron on Feb. 15 attracted more 

than 100 guests who enjoyed dinner, music, door prizes and a silent auction. 

The event raised more than $3,700 for the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater 

Cincinnati. 

“We wanted to do something to remember him and to show him our love. What better 

way than to do something around Valentine’s Day,” said Mrs. Suesz, who along with her 

husband, Joe, and family members, have organized the dinner and party for the past three 

years. 

According to Mrs. Suesz, plans for a Valentine’s Dance in 2009 are already under way. 

Roses adorned the tables

Memory Walk 2008 

We're On the MOVE to End Alzheimer’s 

T 

he statistics are truly sobering. An estimated 5.1 

million Americans affected…the seventh leading 

cause of death in the United States…a new case 

every 71 seconds…a $148 billion annual cost. The latest 

figures regarding Alzheimer’s disease and its impact on the 

United States bring a heightened sense of urgency to do 

something about this growing epidemic. 

But for many who participate in Memory Walk, the 

statistics are overshadowed by more personal reasons to be 

involved in the event. 

“Participating in Memory Walk has become a family 

tradition,” said Ben Koenig, a top fundraiser who lost his 

wife of 53 years, Ruth, last year to Alzheimer’s disease. 

“The Alzheimer’s Association has been a source of great 

support and information for our family and we’re happy 

to be able to give back with the donations we solicit for 

the walk.” 

Serving as the primary national fundraiser for the 

Alzheimer’s Association, Memory Walk is an annual 

event that brings those affected by Alzheimer’s disease, 

family members and community together in a show of 

love, remembrance and support. Proceeds from the walks 

directly benefit local programs and services as well as 

support of Alzheimer research efforts. 

Last year, an estimated 3,600 walkers participated in 

the Greater Cincinnati Chapter’s five Memory Walks, 

raising a record total of $325,000. 

You can register online at www.alz.org/cincinnati or 

call (513) 721-4284. Use the online tool-kit to quickly 

and easily create your individual/team web page. Email 

your web page link to your family, friends and co-workers 

and share with them what Memory Walk means to you 

and why their donation is so important. 

“It’s never too early to register your Memory Walk 

team and start raising money in support of your team’s 

efforts,” said Tami Jones, Memory Walk team captain 

and planning committee member. “With more time to 

reach out to others and by setting fun, achievable goals, it 

becomes easier to meet your fundraising target." 

For more information on the walks, call Mrs. Hawkins 

at (513) 721-4284 or marcy.hawkins@alz.org or visit

hether it affects a neighbor who quietly fades 

behind the upstairs curtains, a relative who 

no longer comes to visit during the holidays, 

or a former president, the effects of Alzheimer’s disease 

are drawing closer to each of us every day. We must be 

the last generation to face this disease without hope.” 

Maureen Reagan 

When the daughter of former President Ronald 

Reagan spoke those words in 1999, there was growing 

momentum in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. 

Heightened public awareness of the disease was helping eliminate false perceptions 

that it was “just old age.” At the same time, government leaders took notice of studies 

forecasting an alarming increase in the number of those affected by Alzheimer’s 

as well as the enormous future economic impact the disease would have on the 

country’s health care system and business community. 

During the decade of the ‘90s, annual federal funding of Alzheimer research 

increased more than 250 percent (to $400 million by 1999). 

Prompted by the concerted efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association and its advocates, 

as well as encouraging developments in Alzheimer research, Congress further 

increased funding through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to nearly 

$660 million per year in 2003. In addition, federal funding supported a variety of 

important Association programs, including Safe Return © “ 

W 

and a national 24-hour 

Helpline“ contact center. 

In recent years, however, momentum in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease 

has slowed dramatically. Pressures on the federal budget caused by a growing deficit 

and struggling economy, coupled with large commitments to the war in Iraq 

and homeland security, have affected Alzheimer research efforts. Over the past five

Are We Losing The Fight Against Alzheimer’s Disease? 

Ramsey Places Sharp Focus On Chapter Events 


By Steve Olding 

Communications Director 

The Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Cincinnati 

is fortunate to have hundreds of generous 

volunteers serving in various capacities throughout 

the year. Although we cannot possibly spotlight 

every volunteer in Cornerstone, we appreciate 

their valuable support and service. In this 

issue, we feature Shad Ramsey. 

Shad Ramsey describes the last five years 

as among the happiest in his life. And he says 

his volunteer work with the Alzheimer’s Association 

has played an instrumental role in pro- 

Shad Ramsey 

moting that happiness. 

Despite a challenging professional schedule that includes operating his own photography 

business, Ramsey Photography, he has served the Greater Cincinnati Chapter 

in numerous ways. 

In addition to utilizing his photography skills at various chapter events, he has 

served on the planning committees for the chapter’s Memory Walk and Spring Benefit. 

“Shad has been a wonderful friend to the Association and has played a very important 

role in our fundraising efforts,” said Chapter Development Director Brigid 

Mercer. “Shad is simply a great person to have in your corner.” 

A native of San Diego, Mr. Ramsey was the oldest of four children in a military 

family (his father, Don, served in the U.S. Navy). The family moved frequently until 

settling in Dayton, Ohio. 

“Mom was a good military wife and raised four neat kids. She was like Phyllis 

Diller…she was always very funny,” he said. 

Mr. Ramsey lost his mother, Jean, to Early-Onset Alzheimer’s disease in 1998. The 

experience of “slowly losing her” had a profound impact. 

“In 1980, she was diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s when she was only 55 

years old,” he said. “Mom and dad moved to the Fort Worth (Texas) area where the 

rest of my siblings were living. I was living in Dayton at the time so I dealt with things 

from a distance. It was difficult.” 

An Alzheimer’s Association support group in Dayton helped him cope but it was 

a photography assignment at a nursing home that provided a life-changing experience 

and an eventual move to the Cincinnati area. 

“I was asked by a family to take a picture at their grandmother’s 85th birthday party, 

which happened to be in an assisted living unit. I was so struck by the improvement in 

years, funding for Alzheimer research has actually declined. The shrinking pool 

of funding is creating a “brain drain” in Alzheimer research as a growing number 

of researchers begin to focus on other diseases. 

When President Bush unveiled his FY2009 budget proposal in February, 

it painted a bleak picture for the current and future generations of Americans 

who face Alzheimer’s disease. The President’s budget proposal included cuts to 

all Alzheimer programs, including reductions to Alzheimer research through 

the NIH. 

As our nation continues the process of selecting presidential candidates 

and ultimately elects a new president in November, it is encouraging to note 

that health care has been a prominent campaign issue. We can only hope that 

the current rhetoric will translate into substantial and effective policy changes 

under a new administration. 

In addition to the mental and physical toll on affected individuals and 

their caregivers, Alzheimer's disease currently costs the United States more than 

$100 billion a year in health care costs and lost worker productivity. It also 

threatens to overwhelm our nation’s health care system and bankrupt Medicare 

and Medicaid, if research fails to find the answers that will prevent the current 

5.1 million Americans with Alzheimer's disease from growing to a projected 

14-16 million by 2050. 

This year’s Alzheimer’s Association Public Policy Forum will be held May 

12-14 in Washington, D.C. Hundreds of advocates from across the nation will 

march on Capitol Hill to speak on behalf of the millions affected by Alzheimer’s 

disease. Even if you can’t attend the forum, you can still play an important 

role through letters, phone calls and emails to your federal legislators. 

Alzheimer’s disease is a critical threat to a growing segment of our nation’s 

population as well as to our nation’s health care system. Today, more than ever, 

your help as an advocate is needed. For more on the Alzheimer’s Association or 

to sign up as an advocate, visit: www.alz.org or contact Steve Olding at steve.

the level of care from the time that my mom passed away in a similar facility. I came 

to the realization that I wanted to work in senior care,” he said. 

In 2003, he took his photography work to part-time and joined Sunrise Senior 

Living to assist with marketing. His work at Sunrise brought him in contact with 

families confronting many of the same issues that he had experienced in his own 

family. 

“My work at Sunrise and Right at Home and my volunteer work at the Alzheimer’s 

Association have really helped me grow as a person. I think I am the better for it, 

said Mr. Ramsey, who now resides in Southgate, Ky. with his wife, Wendy. 

Former First Couple of 

Kentucky Join Advocates 

Former Kentucky first lady and Miss America Phyllis George joined more than 

100 advocates from across Kentucky for the second annual Kentucky Alzheimer’s 

Advocacy Day in Frankfort on Jan. 30. Advocates met with their legislators to 

discuss their concerns. 

Serving as emcee of an afternoon program in the state capitol rotunda, Ms. 

George spoke about the loss of her mother to Alzheimer’s disease in 2004. She 

later welcomed her former husband, former Kentucky Gov. John Y. Brown, who 

spoke briefly to the audience (pictured together). 

Representatives of the Kentucky Alzheimer’s Advisory Council later presented 

a report on Alzheimer’s disease, along with a list of recommendations, to state 

officials and policy makers. State officials are expected to use the report as a 

guideline for adopting new policies to confront the growing prevalence of 

Alzheimer’s disease in Kentucky and its impact on the state’s health care system.
