More than 4,200 walkers raised over $470,000 during the ten Northwest Ohio Walks to End Alzheimer’s this fall…a new record! The Walks are the largest annual fundraisers for the Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio Chap-ter, enabling it to provide educational programs, respite, support and other services in local com-munities. Contributions also directly support im-portant research into the diagnosis, treatment and cure of the disease.Walkers personally embraced their fundraising mission, as evidenced by the fantastic total raised and the comments that they made.De Johnson, captain of the All Pauline’s Children team in Defiance, the top team throughout all the Northwest Ohio Walks, said, “We come together as one to beat Alzheimer’s. I know what it is like to lose my mom to this disease, and I walk for my nieces, nephews and the next generations so they never have to go through what I did.”“I have seen all the wonderful things the Alzheimer’s Association does for people,” she added, “and I want to say thank you. You help make things easier for people when life seems so down.”“I walk in honor of my grandparents, Ray and Jean Cox,” explained Brad Cox of team Ray’s Rugrats, which participated in the Toledo Walk for the 11th year and was the third highest fundraising team in Northwest Ohio.“It was amazing to see our family and friends all unite for a common cause. We lost my grandfather to Alzheimer’s several years ago, and the pain that it caused our entire family to watch him slip away over the years he battled the disease is something no family should ever have to experience. My grandma kept him at home as long as possible, and with the help of many programs the Alzheim-er’s Association provides, she was able to be an amazing provider for his needs. I miss my grandpa

every day and our family has committed to doing everything we can to help provide ourselves and our children a world without Alzheimer’s.” (For a list of the top teams at all the Walks, see page 2.)“I am a member of Team Legacy at The Heritage in Findlay as well as a member of the Walk planning committee, and have been partici-pating in the Walks since 2006,” said Mollie Zinser. “I had always walked for the residents in the communities where I worked, but my granddad passed in 2012 with Alzheimer’s and the Walk took on a different meaning for me. I

support the Alzheimer’s Association because we need to expand research and find a cure, but the only way to make this happen is if we all join in support of raising funds for that purpose.”“In addition to raising money, we support the Alzheimer’s Association and Walk to help build community awareness and to recognize that there is a support system available to those in need,” explained Paige York, captain of Team ReVision, which participated in the Mansfield Walk.

Sincere thanksSalli Bollin, Executive Director of the Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter, said, “There are so many people to thank for the fantastic suc-cess of our 2013 Walks, such as our corporate sponsors, whose financial support and community visibility encouraged many people to participate in the Walks.” (See list of the 2013 Walk corporate sponsors on page 3.)“We also want to publicly recognize and thank all the members of the various planning committees, whose inspiration, energy and commitment to the Walks produced events which were success-ful, informative and meaningful. Quite frankly, the Walks would not have happened without their time and talents.”“Of course, we offer our most heartfelt thanks to the Team Captains and Walkers who participated in all of our important events,” Bollin added. “It was truly awesome to see the massive wave of purple t-shirts at each Walk and the colorful and meaningful promise garden flowers rolling to-gether in support of the Chapter’s essential work throughout 24 counties in Northwest Ohio. Their efforts, and the contributions of their families, friends and supporters, made our ten 2013 Walks the most financially successful and most aware-ness-building Walks ever. This enables us to con-tinue to provide our local, regional and national

programs, services and advocacy efforts on behalf of those impacted by the disease. Furthermore, we can assist funding research efforts which we hope will lead to an end of Alzheimer’s disease.”“On behalf of all of us at the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion, Northwest Ohio Chapter, and the thousands of people we are privileged to serve, we thank all those who helped make our 2013 Walks be fantas-tic successes.”Registration and information about the 2014 Walks will be available at www.alz.org/nwohio/walk.

Continuing its mission of providing current and important information to professional and family caregivers throughout the region, the Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter presented a professional education program in Lima this past October. This conference addressed the issue of “When It’s Not Alzheimer’s Disease: Caring for Different Types of Dementia.”“Dementia is a very broad term, and there are increasingly more people getting diagnosed with other types of dementia than Alzheimer’s disease,” noted Linda Pollitz, LSW, program manager at the Lima office of the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion, Northwest Ohio Chapter. “We are pleased to provide professional and family caregivers the information they need.” The keynote speaker at the conference was Clarissa Rentz, MSN, PRN, a clini-cal nurse specialist in gerontological, mental health and psychiatric nursing. Rentz told the gathering of healthcare professionals why an accurate diagno-sis of dementia can improve the care an individual receives. She also offered specific strategies for care and support for affected persons and their family members.One of the panel discussion participants was Tracie Steele, a support group leader and a caregiver for her husband Steve, who has frontotemporal dementia. Steele gave attendees her personally developed caregiver tips, including making the best decision for the whole family, taking time for yourself, and accepting help from others.The Alzheimer’s Association routinely answers questions and provides informa-tion, support, and assistance to those impacted by other types of dementia, such as vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal dementia (FTD), mixed dementia, and other less common dementias. For more information, please give us a call at 1-800-272-3900 or visit www.alz.org/dementia.
