Dear friends,
It all matters.
Our vision is a world
without ,
Alzheimer s
It matters that thousands of New Hampshire advocates raised
their voices. In response, state officials had one of their most
impressive years, in terms of Alzheimer’s related policies. New
Hampshire legislators approved a New Hampshire Alzheimer’s
plan, legislation that was signed by Governor Hassan. This
will directly lead to improved quality of life for people with
Alzheimer’s and caregivers. And in Massachusetts, advocates
won a number of victories including approval of nursing home
dementia care regulations, approval of Uniform Guardianship
legislation which will facilitate guardianships when families
live in different states and passage of promising legislation that
will begin addressing quality of dementia care in Massachusetts
hospitals. We are very appreciative of our supportive
public officials.
And it matters that advocates communicated consistently with
their members of Congress and traveled to Washington, D.C.,
joining with advocates across the nation to achieve important
increases in federal Alzheimer’s research investments.
It makes a difference that generous donors enable the
Alzheimer’s Association to pursue a global strategy to directly
invest in cutting edge research. This past year, the Association
presented the largest grant in organizational history to Dr. Reisa
Sperling, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, principal investigator
for the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer’s
(A4) study. The A4 Study is a very promising drug prevention
trial, hopefully changing the paradigm of Alzheimer’s treatment.
And it matters that with support from a broad array of
funders, the Alzheimer’s Association launched an Early Stage
Empowerment program that will feature an unprecedented
2 | 2014 Annual Report
initiative to engage hundreds of recently diagnosed people in
meaningful activities, advocacy and volunteer efforts that will
contribute to a changing image of Alzheimer’s. Supported
by a unique public awareness and advertising campaign, the
Association will deliver the message that you can live with
Alzheimer’s and you can contribute to the broad-based
campaign to put an end to Alzheimer’s.
These are only a few examples of what we have accomplished
over the past year. YOU matter because none of this would
be possible without the engagement, passion and generosity
of our volunteer supporters. Whether it is helping organize
our successful Hope on the Harbor, organizing teams for the
Walk to End Alzheimer’s, participating in our Run TRI
RIDE programs or stepping up with a generous donation;
it all matters.
We always say that you cannot manage Alzheimer’s alone.
Similarly, we can’t beat Alzheimer’s alone. Thank you for joining
in this cause. We hope we can rely on your continued support
because only together will we realize our vision of a world
without Alzheimer’s.

Care
Highlights
The Alzheimer’s Association is the leading
voluntary health organization providing Alzheimer
care, support and research. More than 5 million
people nationwide have Alzheimer’s—142,000 of
them live in Massachusetts and New Hampshire,
the area we serve. We assist thousands of families
as they face the daunting challenges of Alzheimer’s
disease and other types of dementia.
In support groups, at education programs, across
phone lines and through the internet, we work
to help those living with Alzheimer’s. We are
also looking to tomorrow with our TrialMatch®
program, research symposiums and support of
cutting edge research. Our core work is care,
cause and cure. It all matters. Until there is a
cure, we will fight for the cause and provide care
to those caught in the maelstrom of this disease.
We encourage you to learn more about our
ongoing and new programs by visiting us at
alz.org/MANH.
• 2 4/7 Helpline: We responded to nearly
12,000 requests for information, support
and guidance. Not only individuals and
families, but professional caregivers as
well, are seeking our guidance. For those
who prefer e-mail, we also respond via
our Helpline Online at our website.
ementia Care Coordination:
•D
We entered year two of a unique
collaborative that serves Tufts Health
Plan Medicare Advantage HMO
members. We provided coordination of
services and consultation, free of charge,
to their members seeking assistance with
dementia. We will be expanding this
model to other physicians and practices.
ower+Purpose: We launched a new
•P
initiative for those with mild Alzheimer’s
and other memory disorders, aimed
at empowering those who are trying
to find their way with their recent
diagnosis. The Power+Purpose program
piloted social engagement activities and
a MindSet group that provides peer
support and assistance with plotting a
course through the early stage of the
disease. This unique program, funded
by a number of generous donors and
foundations, has a call to action of Live.
Life.Today.
•R
esources for Visually Impaired:
We partnered with Perkins School to
create an online repository of recordings
of our key educational publications.
Recorded by broadcast professionals
Nancy Quill and A.J. Burnett, the
Perkins collection will assist those who
may otherwise not have had access to
key information.
8 | 2014 Annual Report
•P
rograms for Individuals, Families
and the Community: We reached
17,800 people through workshops,
classes and conferences, a 20% increase
over last year. Included in our outreach
was a family education program in
Portuguese and our first Portuguese
family caregiver support group. Praise in
Purple, focusing on African-American
and Latino places of worship reached
some 7,000, connecting them to
resources and support.
• Training Health Care Professionals:
More than 4,500 health care professionals
learned about best practices and
specialized dementia care at our more
than 100 trainings. Our highly regarded
“Map Through the Maze” conference
drew a capacity crowd and included
expanded poster sessions and new
breakouts. And our Habilitation Approach
training provided a critical link to the
success of quality care improvement with
Masspro, working closely with skilled
nursing facilities to develop behavior
teams to evaluate, problem-solve and
resolve challenging behaviors associated
with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
•S
upport Groups: Recognizing
that sometimes the best advice and
support comes from those living with
the disease, we expanded our capacity
to provide support groups, with 224
groups meeting across both states.
are Consultation: Our
•C
individualized, in-depth counseling
program, provided more than 1,500
consultations at no charge to those
receiving the services. With one-on-one
family assistance, we can help families
work through some of the most
challenging problems they face.
• Alzheimer’s Workplace Alliance
(AWA): Free to businesses, the
AWA increases public awareness in
the business sector and also brings
educational programs to employees who
may be caregivers for someone with
Alzheimer’s. New to AWA: the City of
Boston, thanks to the strong support
of Mayor Marty Walsh—representing
thousands of individuals and their
families. Altogether, more than 100
companies have joined our AWA
program, bringing resources and hope
to their employees who may be
impacted by Alzheimer’s.

Cause
• Legislative Initiatives: In a record
year, we succeeded in our efforts to have
three bills successfully passed and signed
into law. In Massachusetts, measures to
create dementia-capable care in acute
care settings and an act establishing
uniform guardianship were passed thanks
to strong support from our grassroots
advocates and from legislative champions.
In New Hampshire with equally strong
support, a New Hampshire Alzheimer’s
Plan/Project Act, our first proposed bill
in the Granite State, successfully passed,
providing for improved coordination
of services.
• Advocate Action: Our Massachusetts
Alzheimer’s Advocacy Action Day at
the state house in Boston galvanized
advocates and provided the opportunity
to honor Senate President Therese
Murray for her significant support of
legislation that will make a difference
for families living with Alzheimer’s. Our
contingent of more than 40 advocates
also took to our nation’s capital to
call for increased research funding as
part of the national Advocacy Forum.
Our voices are being heard: in January,
President Barack Obama signed into
law a record $122 million increase for
Alzheimer research, education and
caregiver support.
We had a banner year for public policy
work in New Hampshire, thanks to the
support of Representative Pat Long,
who was on hand with New Hampshire
Manager of Public Policy Heather Carroll
when our Alzheimer’s Plan/Project Act
was signed into law.

10 | 2014 Annual Report
• Walk to End Alzheimer’s®: In 2014,
more than 28,000 people turned out
to raise public awareness and money to
support the programs and research of
the Alzheimer’s Association at the Walk
to End Alzheimer’s®. The Walk to End
Alzheimer’s® is the nation’s largest public
awareness and fundraising effort. Nearly
$3.5 million was raised at 11 walks across
Massachusetts and New Hampshire; for
the first time ever, our Boston event, held
at a new location thanks to the support
of Mayor Marty Walsh, raised more
than $1.2 million.
• AlzTogether: Our young professionals
group, AlzTogether, continued to
connect a younger audience with the
cause—those who have parents or
grandparents living with Alzheimer’s.
Hosting a number of networking and
fundraising events, AlzTogether capped
the year with a flag football event that
raised awareness and more than $50,000.
• Food for Thought: Celebrated
chefs in Boston area and Portsmouth,
New Hampshire joined together to
raise funds and awareness. For a week
in September, they offered a special
appetizer with 100% of the proceeds
donated to the cause; during that week
they also engaged their substantial
social media followings to promote the
program and awareness in general with
the hashtag #EndAlz.
• Cause Marketing: We partnered
with companies to increase public
awareness, broaden our bases of support
and raise funds for our cause. Dunkin’
Donuts teamed with us with the
“Purple with a Purpose” program,
selling a special purple-sprinkled
donut in eastern Massachusetts and
southern New Hampshire, with a
percentage donated to the Association.
TJX Corporation, with headquarters
in Massachusetts, partnered with us
through a donation campaign at their
Marshalls stores. Rapid Refill stores
ran a six-week donation campaign. On
a national basis, the popular jewelry
store Alex+Ani created an Alzheimer’s
charm; bareMinerals cosmetics created
“Tenderheart” purple eye shadow with
a percentage of profit coming to the
Alzheimer’s Association.
Boston is home to some of the world’s
leading Alzheimer researchers, many of
whom have received grants from the
Alzheimer’s Association to further their
work. And in summer 2013, Boston
was also the home to the Alzheimer’s
Association International Conference,
convening thousands of researchers from
around the globe. On hand were Ali
Atri, MD, Reisa Sperling, MD and Brad
Dickerson, PhD (l-r).

Shawmut Design and Construction
The commitment was personal for Roger Tougas, from day one.
Roger’s father had been diagnosed with dementia. On the advice
of a friend, he called the Alzheimer’s Association’s 24/7 Helpline.
“We needed to make decisions about my father’s care and we
didn’t know where to turn.” Roger’s phone call to the 24/7
Helpline connected him with care consultant Susan Rowlett.
“Susan was just amazing. She had information on resources, how
to provide care, financial aspects, and most importantly, how to
address what my mother was going through.”
In 2012, Roger Tougas, who is the Chief Financial Officer of
Shawmut Design and Construction, decided to start a Walk to
End Alzheimer’s® team for the company.
“Shawmut is very supportive and likes to give back. That first
year we had about 15 people on our team and this year it was
more than 25.”
Roger used the Walk to End Alzheimer’s team as a way to
connect other employees at Shawmut with the cause. He
organized lunch and learn sessions, bringing in Alzheimer’s
Association staff to talk about warning signs for the disease and
resources available. In 2013, he joined the Hope on the Harbor
Executive Committee and also the Association’s Leadership
Council. And in 2014, Roger joined the Board of Directors
of the Alzheimer’s Association’s, MA/NH Chapter.
“We try to spread the word throughout our community. For
a next step, I would like to see our other Shawmut locations
around the country connect with their local chapters,” Roger
said. Shawmut Design and Construction has over 500 employees
at its Boston office; and over 1,000 nationwide.
“The lunch and learn is a way to help families. I look at it as,
even if you just reach one person, it’s good.”
Roger also enlists the Shawmut Walk leadership team to cook
breakfast at Shawmut as a fundraiser. With a Walk video playing,
and a chance to grab information and get involved, he estimates
that the breakfast directly reaches hundreds of their employees.
“People knowing that there’s a resource at the end of a phone
line is a big thing. You start talking and don’t feel so vulnerable
because you have a game plan.”
Roger sees the numbers as the clearest reason why a business
should get involved in the cause. He is quick to cite that more
than 5 million in the U.S. have Alzheimer’s and that number
could triple as baby boomers age.
“It just makes sense to do something about it.”

What We Leave Behind
the mcnamara family
Stephen “Mack” McNamara lost his battle with Alzheimer’s last year.
He left a hole in the hearts of his family and friends; that void has
been filled by his legacy and love. In the Londonderry home of his
wife Mary and their children Maura, Elizabeth and Ben, he is still an
enormous presence. He is in the photographs that cover a kitchen
wall; his artwork that hangs on the walls; and the stories they share
about him.
Mack was diagnosed with younger-onset
(before age 65) Alzheimer’s in 2010.
His family decided that they would
care for him at home—and so began an
exquisitely timed and executed act of
love and caregiving.
“I was not really surprised because his
mom had it,” said Maura. “He knew what
was going to happen and that made it
hard.” Mack’s mother was diagnosed
with Alzheimer’s at 68 and died at 73.
Mary fought back tears, “he would
apologize a lot and say he didn’t want
to be a burden.”
The signs had been there about a year
and a half before his diagnosis. The family
attributed his forgetfulness to lack of
sleep. He was working a second shift
14 | 2014 Annual Report
and he wasn’t sleeping regular hours.
Then he began to be confused. The
school system where he worked met
with him and gave him a one-month
leave of absence to figure things out.
After seeing a neurologist, the diagnosis
was clear: Alzheimer’s.
Ben, living in Brooklyn, debated whether
he should move back home. But Mary,
Maura and Elizabeth made it work with
the help of neighbors and friends.
Ben would call home every day.
“The first year he was able to stay home
by himself, get his breakfast and lunch
and he even drove a little,” Mary said.
“But that next year when it came time
to renew his license, he said I don’t think
I should drive anymore. I don’t want to
hurt anyone.”
2014 Annual Report | 15
Their experience with Mack’s mother had taught them about
managing the disease. They soon noticed that he was not always
eating, so Maura began coming home on her lunch break. He
was still managing daily activities like showering and dressing.
He also still walked the dog, but neighbors began to watch out
for him.
“He would get to the mailbox at the end of our driveway and
get confused,” said Elizabeth. “Our neighbors would watch him
and help him.”
The family found places they could take Mack that were not too
demanding. An outing might be a trip to the local supermarket.
In the summer, they were “frequent flyers” for the Londonderry
outside concert series.
By year three, Mack could no longer be left alone. The man
who worked for the Londonderry Schools as a custodian and
volunteered for local sports could not take care of himself.
“He would forget things so we would leave notes,” said Mary.
The notes themselves became an issue.
“Every Sunday he would sit
down and make his postcards
for the week,” said Mary.
And he always signed them in
purple pen.
“He became obsessed with the notes and read them over and
over because he didn’t want to miss something,” Elizabeth said.
The notes took on added poignancy because Mack was famous
for his notes. He used every opportunity to send a note of
encouragement or congratulations or a simple greeting to
scores of people in his life. He sent them to friends, friends of
his children, kids who played on teams—anyone he thought
deserved a note. And he had his own distinct style. He created
postcards from recycled cardboard boxes. The “postcard” might
be a cutout from a cereal box or shipping package.
“Nursing homes told us it was going to be difficult because he’s
young, he’s a man, he’s strong,” Mary said. “It was discouraging.”
That was when they connected with the New Hampshire office
of the Alzheimer’s Association. Meeting with care consultant
Ronda Randazzo, they were able to create a punch list.
“Ronda helped us understand what we needed to do,”
said Elizabeth.
Mary attended support groups and education programs the
Association offered.
“Just sitting in the room with other people who were going
through the same thing was a help,” said Mary. Mary’s own
physician became concerned about her well-being. The toll
on the family increased, but they remained steady in their
commitment to care for him. They knew that Mack did not
want to be put in a nursing home.
Maura had by then decided to make a difference and fight back
at the disease. They formed a family team for the Walk to End
Alzheimer’s® while Mack was still alive. The first year, he was
able to go with them.
“The first year we invited everyone back to the house. There
was a sea of purple. Last year, we did a picnic in the park...
Mack couldn’t be there,” Maura said.
Ben also did the RIDE to End Alzheimer’s and with some
family friends, Run to Remember Half Marathon. Maura found
others her age going through some of the same challenges with
the AlzTogether young professionals group.
Mack’s condition worsened into the summer. He became
aggressive and more challenging for his wife and daughters
to manage. A geriatric psychiatrist prescribed medication to
help with the aggression. But Mack had become more confused,
more stubborn and was not eating well. He had been on waiting
lists for nursing homes but in September, when he experienced
a significant decline, Mack was admitted to the hospital. While
there, he suffered a cardiac incident and wound up in ICU.
By November, he was admitted to hospice care. The family
continued to be at his side—in the hospital and then camped out
at the hospice center. He passed away on November 16, 2013
with his family at his side.
And like the family that came through for Mack, so did
their hometown.
“We were very lucky to live in Londonderry, and have all the
support of so many people. We’d go into Market Basket and
people would tell us how he had affected them,” said Elizabeth.
Less than a year after losing him, it’s Mack they remember, not
the disease. He loved the Rolling Stones, “You Can’t Always
Get What You Want,” and that music was what they played,
frequently, when they were taking turns caring for him.
At Mack’s wake, hundreds came and many brought postcards he
had sent them. Those famous postcards crafted from what would
have been cast-off cardboard. Many made their own version of a
Mack card – with a message to him.
In the end, Mack got what he wanted. He wanted to stay out of
nursing homes—which he did. He wanted to be connected to
the family he dearly loved. He wanted to connect with people.
“Every Sunday he would sit down and make his postcards for
the week,” said Mary. And he always signed them in purple pen.
When his children left for college, he sent them a postcard every
day they were away at school.
By year three, Mack also needed increasing care. Maura and
Elizabeth would get him up every morning, brush his teeth
and give him meds. Ben would come home every two weeks
from Brooklyn, to give his mother and sisters a break. Other
than the Alzheimer’s, he was in good health. But the confusion
was increasing.
“I think that he might have used my name just a few times. I
was the youngest and I felt he didn’t know me as well,” Elizabeth
said. He’d cover by calling both his daughters “the girls.”
Eventually, their carefully crafted care system was no longer
enough for Mack. As they began to look at nursing homes,
problems arose.

Hope on the Harbor, and also attending in
2014 with his wife Angela. Mayor Menino
also set in motion planning for Boston to
join the Alzheimer Workplace Alliance.

Missing Our Mom
the sutton family
They are the team you would want on your side. Sisters Diane
Swanson, Carolyn Mutcherson and Kimberly Gasque are the tag
team for their mother Gladys Sutton. At 79, Gladys has been living
with Alzheimer’s for about 18 years; she was diagnosed 12 years ago.
“In 1994 she had a really bad accident
and hit her head. The doctor said it was
not a cause for change but she had gone
from being very meticulous to wearing
things that were mismatched. She just
didn’t look right. And she became
obsessed with cleaning and constantly
emptied the trash,” said Diane.
Gladys lives at home with her husband
Clifton—Carolyn and Diane have
worked out a system of care along with
using personal care attendants (PCAs)
and back-up from their younger sister
Kimberly who lives in Georgia. Kimberly
takes family leave several times a year
and travels north to Massachusetts to
spend time caring for their mother.
Their 81-year-old father continues to
keep a social routine, at the urging of his
daughters. He meets up with friends every
28 | 2014 Annual Report
day at his local Dunkin’ Donuts. Then he
takes an afternoon care shift.
Diane and Carolyn take turns every day
and on weekends fixing the evening meal.
They are grateful that their mother sleeps
through the night. Their mother said she
never wanted to go into a nursing home,
and they are working to make sure she
can stay at home.
This is not Carolyn’s first experience as an
Alzheimer’s caregiver. Her mother-in-law
lived with her and her husband after she
was diagnosed. It was at that time that she
discovered the Alzheimer’s Association’s
Springfield office.
“I was caring for my mother-in-law and
my mother had just been diagnosed. I
couldn’t handle it. I was crying for two
years straight it seemed, going in to the
2014 Annual Report | 29
Institutional Support
Alzheimer’s Association office and Marcia (McKenzie) helped
me find resources.”
Hard still is the fact that Gladys doesn’t recognize her daughters.
The Alzheimer’s Association gratefully acknowledges the following
corporations, foundations, trusts, organizations and institutions for
their generous support of $1,000 or more during our fiscal year 2014
(July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014). Their support and leadership fuels the
mission of the Alzheimer’s Association.
“Do you know my girls, you’d like my girls,” Carolyn said,
quoting her mother.
“She knows my Dad. She doesn’t use his name but lights
up when he comes in,” said Diane.
Gladys’s health has been further complicated by TIAs (transient
ischemic attack), sort of mini-strokes. Carolyn and Diane have
shifted to healthier cooking when they prepare meals. They cook
double meals so there is enough for two meals, except for Friday.
Friday is still fish fry day and their father keeps up that tradition.
“The hardest part is missing our Mom and making sure she is
cared for in a way she deserves to be and would want to be,” said
Diane. “It can get very emotional taking care of her. I give a lot
of credit to the PCAs. It was harder when she was more verbal.
She would fight you and say No I don’t need a bath.”
“And she was cursing me,” Carolyn said. “We were never
allowed to swear at our house; our father never swears, but
she would curse.”
Help is key, according to Carolyn. Support groups, church
groups—whatever helps. Family members, including
granddaughters, help out with chores like house cleaning
and spending time with Gladys.
“Whatever they can do, take it. And it’s one less thing you
have to do,” Carolyn said.
Carolyn serves as the medical advocate for their mother.
A professional phlebotomist, she is comfortable in medical
settings. She asks the questions her mother cannot ask. Diane,
who runs her own event planning business, manages the finances.
Kimberly is the family legal expert, so between the three they
have key decision-making covered. They are in constant contact
by phone and e-mail, and discuss everything with their father.
“We’re very family oriented,” said Carolyn. “When we were
little, we were at our grandparents every day.” Gladys was one
of eight children, and took care of her siblings. She was active
in church and a member of the choir and helped with the
children’s choir at Third Baptist church in Springfield, where
Clifton is still active teaching adult Sunday School Class
each week.
Now, she takes occasional walks, but she has experienced TIAs
almost weekly. She no longer speaks in complete sentences,
but Carolyn and Diane feel she is happier these days.

RUN TRI RIDE to End Alzheimer’s
RUN TRI Ride to End Alzheimer’s comprises running, cycling and
triathlon events throughout the year to raise awareness and funds for
Alzheimer’s care, support and research. From the legendary Boston
Marathon® to the rigors of triathalons and our famous RIDE to End
Alzheimer’s, the RUN TRI RIDE team has placed the Alzheimer’s
cause before the public in a new and engaging way and contributed
significantly with their fundraising. In the past year, the RUN TRI
RIDE program raised more than $1 million.
Joey McIntyre, of New Kids on the Block
fame, raised the profile of our RUN to
End Alzheimer’s program by joining our
team. His commitment comes from his own
personal experience—his mother
has Alzheimer’s.

The cause is great.
The impact of having
a cure would be
Taking Up the Challenge
Des Mac Intyre
Des Mac Intyre’s office looks out across Boston and beyond. When
he talks, the lilt of his voice hints at his roots. He was born in Kildare,
Ireland to “a mother from Butte, Montana and a wild Irish playwright
father,” he said.
Des was looking for a new challenge three years ago when
he signed on with the Alzheimer’s Association Run to End
Alzheimer’s team. He wanted to run “Boston” and found that
connecting with a charity was one way to secure a coveted
bib number. He made the cut in what is a rigorous application
process for the Alzheimer’s Association’s prized spots. At the time,
he did not realize he had a personal connection to the disease; he
did not realize that the cause was going to take on an important
role in his life. He finished the marathon despite the fact that it
was the first he’d run in 20 years. His second time out, he was
stopped at mile 25.7 along with thousands of others turned
back because of the bombings.
“I’ve since learned that two uncles and an aunt, now deceased,
had Parkinson’s disease. One of the other dementias,” he said.
“Getting involved has been an educating experience because
people open up to you if you give them an opportunity to
talk. It’s the caregivers who really suffer.”
Des has given that opportunity to talk to his staff as well as
friends. He arranged for an Alzheimer’s Association education
session for his staff and other BNY Mellon employees. More
than 50 people attended. He also referred one of his staff to
the 24/7 Helpline.
His own firm chose the Alzheimer’s Association one of their
charities of the year, donating money from their Friday casual
day to the cause.
By nature, he’s a man who takes on challenges. As the Chairman
& CEO of Standish Mellon Asset Management Company, LLC,
he manages 182 employees and approximately $165 billion
with clients in 41 countries. Lending his time and voice to
the Alzheimer’s cause came naturally to him.

huge.
From a 20-year standstill to marathon, Des has gone on to
integrate running into his life. He is running three marathons in
2014; he backed out of Boston because of a case of pneumonia.
He also had recently completed the Lake Placid Ironman
competition which includes running, biking and swimming.
As he talks about running, the Irish blessing “may the wind be
at your back,” comes to mind.
“Running makes you focus entirely on the present. It’s a great
stress reliever. It’s positive for my staff and it means that I’ll go
for more jogs with my three teenagers.” He adds with a smile
that he’s also lost 40 pounds—a bonus to his newfound love
of running.
Des increased his commitment to the cause by serving on the
Executive Committee of Hope on the Harbor, the Alzheimer’s
Association celebration event, and accepting a seat on the Board
of Directors.
“I have a friend whose mother was just put in a care home.
I’ve seen the impact the disease has had. The heartbreak. There’s
no cure but we can certainly help people along the way. The
Alzheimer’s Association does help, for nothing, so it makes sense
for a corporation to get involved. It was great to see Mayor
Walsh give a platform to discussing what’s important when he
committed Boston to being a leader in helping people with
Alzheimer’s and supporting the Alzheimer’s Association.”
“On a business level, how can someone come to work balanced
with all that is going on when the have Alzheimer’s in the family?”
Des said he hopes to return to the Run to End Alzheimer’s team
in 2015 with a goal of raising $30,000.
“The cause is great. The impact of having a cure would be huge.”

Leaving a Lifetime Legacy
phyllis hersch
“I feel like there’s someone holding my hand,
walking me through it all.”
“It’s incredulous to me that all the support from the Alzheimer’s
Association is free. If I can help expand the services, to help
more people, it’s the little I can do.
“There also needs to be more research done—how to stop
it, how to understand it. If I can contribute to that, it’s an
important legacy.”
Phyllis Hersch’s husband Charlie has dementia.
“I started with the early-stage coordinator and we were referred
to support groups.” Their first group had Paul Raia, PhD as
one of the co-leaders. The group was split into two groups, one
for those with the disease and one for their spouses or partners.
Dr. Raia is now vice president of clinical-professional programs;
Phyllis and Charlie went on to other groups at the Alzheimer’s
Association.
“We felt very supported. We became involved with various
groups at the Association. Charlie spoke at Alzheimer’s
conferences as the face of a person with Alzheimer’s and together
we were on panel discussions with other couples living with
early-stage Alzheimer’s. I joined the ‘Unforgettables’ Walk to
End Alzheimer’s team.” The Unforgettables was the top Greater
Boston Walk fundraising team for many years. Comprising those
with early-stage Alzheimer’s and dementia and their families
and supporters, the team has been an inspiration to many
other teams.
I could not have
done it alone.
We have a great neurologist
but it’s not the same as the
kind of support the
Association provides.
“Anything I can do to help the Association provide more
services, I’ll do. I could not have done it alone. We have a great
neurologist but it’s not the same as the kind of support the
Association provides.”
Phyllis said that the assistance she received as a caregiver was
practical as well as emotional.
“Susan Rowlett (care consultant) facilitated a meeting with
me and Charlie’s adult children to help them understand and
find ways for us to work together. That made all the difference.
Nobody else really understands like the people at
the Association.”
Phyllis not only has been active with the Walk to End
Alzheimer’s, she has become a Founder’s Society member
by including the Alzheimer’s Association in her estate plans.

The Heart of the Matter
the collins family
When you meet the Collins family at their West Dennis summer
home, it’s hard not to be struck by their great good looks, immediate
hospitality and stories of success in so many ways. But Alzheimer’s has
hit their center, the heart of the family. Debbie Collins, just 60 years
old, has younger-onset Alzheimer’s. She was diagnosed four years ago.
Her husband Kelly and their children, William (KC), Ryan, Barbara
(Betsy), Brennan and his wife Emily, are learning how to navigate this
new life.
Sun flooded the house and sparkled off
the distant water. The men were dressed
in khaki Bermuda shorts, the women in
shades of pink and blue and a lunch feast
had been laid out on the kitchen counter.
Debbie was there for a greeting but did
not take part in the interview. And that
is the hole in the heart of this family.
Kelly, who owns an independent insurance
agency in Pittsfield, and Debbie who
was a social worker, have been married
for 34 years.
“She is the most caring, loving person.
She was always there, compassionate, a
fabulous mom, a great wife,” said Kelly.
She was also dedicated to her community,
volunteered at hospice and kept the
whole family on track for their many
activities—ski racing, soccer, academics.
Though Debbie had two aunts with
Alzheimer’s, it was a shock when the
diagnosis came.
“There was never one trigger
moment,” said Ryan.
54 | 2014 Annual Report
“But about two years before, she knew
something was wrong,” said Kelly.
“Organization was not her strength, so
the changes were a gray area for a long
time.” He remembers the day, the weather,
the shock of the news.
“We met with the doctor for about 45
minutes when he gave us the news. It was
March. Cold, the way that Boston can be
in early spring. We went out and sat at a
table outside Harvard Medical School,”
Kelly said. The chill of that news is evident
still, even on a warm day in a picture
perfect home with a view of the water.
KC had just begun a surgical residency
at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
when his mother was diagnosed.
“The day we went to the neurologist, we
weren’t 100% sure about the outcome
because she was so young that Alzheimer’s
seemed unlikely. But there were things she
wasn’t doing well,” KC said. She would
get lost in areas she had known well and
was challenged by things that had come
naturally such as making meals.
2014 Annual Report | 55
“After the diagnosis, we had hundreds of questions. We didn’t
know anything about Alzheimer’s,” said Kelly. They reached out
to Elder Services of Berkshire County and read a lot. Debbie was
ready to take part in a clinical trial when she was diagnosed with
breast cancer. She underwent two surgeries and radiation but
no chemotherapy, because of the Alzheimer’s. Her Alzheimer’s
symptoms worsened, and then levelled out.
KC estimates that since the diagnosis his mother has declined
about 50%. Initially she had been prescribed Aricept and
Namenda, two medications that have shown some benefits
in the early stage of Alzheimer’s.
“I feel as a family member and medical practitioner, guilt that
she had a hunch two years before that something was wrong.
If she had been diagnosed earlier it wouldn’t have changed
anything except those two years were difficult. We could have
had appropriate conversations with her and we could have
better understood how she felt.
“It’s had an impact on my father as caregiver; on the family as
a whole. In some ways we are stronger, but we have all made
sacrifices,” said KC. The previous summer, all four siblings took
time off so that they could stay with their mother at the summer
home. On a cul-de-sac, the home is in a neighborhood that
includes an older family homestead and houses built by other
family members. Debbie loved being there for the summer
since it had been a favorite place for more than 40 years;
the family felt she was safe.
Kelly agreed with KC’s assessment that Debbie’s decline has
accelerated. They have now hired someone to be with Debbie
when she is at the West Dennis house. Safety concerns are
foremost. Kelly expected that by fall she might need
around-the-clock care.
“The most difficult part is that it is unpredictable. We don’t have
a timeline. The doctor didn’t want to give one,” said Kelly.
“She wanted to be here at the house for the summer so we
worked together so that she could,” said Brennan. “It’s incredible
how we worked together.”
The children echo that being with Debbie is good for all. Phone
conversations can be confusing, but taking a walk and spending
time in person is still something they can do together.
“When I heard about the diagnosis I was sad,” said Betsy. “My
relationship was going to be different. I wouldn’t be able to have
an adult mother-daughter relationship with her. Now, I just
think about a day at a time.”
56 | 2014 Annual Report
“She wanted to be here at the
house for the summer so we
worked together so that she
could,” said Brennan. “It’s
incredible
how we worked together.”
As they’ve changed expectations of what life will be, the
Collins family also found ways to take positive action. Though
Debbie could not take part in a clinical trial, KC thinks that
he would be interested in taking part. He wants to see the
medical community step up. And Debbie created an Alzheimer’s
Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® team, which they been
organizing now for four years. Called Queen Deb’s Bees,
the team was a way for her to take action after she had been
diagnosed and contribute to research for a cure so that other
families might have a different experience. What began as a
family effort has extended out to friends and a team of 25. After
the Walk they host a barbecue at their Pittsfield home—the day
has become a time to check in with friends and extended family.
As they have found ways to support Debbie, they have also
learned to support each other.
“It’s not just coordinating plans. We talk through how we
are feeling,” said Ryan.
“We talk to each other as much as possible,” said Brennan.
“As the situation gets harder we all need to step up.”
They have planned as much as they can. They have made things
the best they can for Debbie. But even on the sunniest of days,
there is the undeniable cloud above them all.
“I think about the future and about how her whole focus was
on having grandchildren. It’s hard to think she won’t have
that,” said KC.
