annual report - The ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter
annual report February 1, 2007 – January 31, 2008 Celebrating 30 Years of Caring The ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter 1 Help for Today…Hope for Tomorrow 30th Anniversary Dear Friends, The Challenge – We are at the crossroads of discovery. We believe that the tools to find a cure for ALS exist. For the last thirty years, we have helped our ALS families lead richer, better lives while searching for a cure for this disease. Today we are partnering with the government and other healthcare organizations to speed up this process. The Greater Philadelphia Chapter owes its accomplishments to pioneers like Malvina and Morton Charlestein, organizations like the Phillies, families like the Bartones and patients like Kevin Glenn, all of whom we will meet in the next few pages. Of course, they did not do it alone. Thank you for being the source of their hope…hope for a world free from ALS. Our doors are always open. Your practical ideas, your intelligent input, your resourcefulness and your contributions are what make The Greater Philadelphia Chapter so successful. Together, we will meet our challenge with a victory. Sincerely, Ellyn C. Phillips, President James V. Pinciotti, Executive Director The mission of The ALS Association, Greater Philadelphia Chapter is to lead the fight to cure and treat ALS through global, cutting-edge research, and to empower people with Lou Gehrig’s Disease and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support. 2 FAMILIES MAKING A DIFFERENCE Morton and Malvina Charlestein were not ones to let grass grow underfoot –when their son-in-law, Alan Phillips, was diagnosed with ALS in 1982, they immediately mobilized and became involved with the ALS cause. When ALS took Alan’s young and vital life in1984, left behind were his wife, Ellyn, and three-year old daughter, Amy. Ellyn assumed the position of Chapter President and in December 1984, her mother, Malvina, sprang into action. She met with Nancy Giles, wife of then Phillies President Bill Giles and said, “ALS belongs in baseball. Won’t you help? After all, it is also called “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.” Nancy took Malvina’s message to Bill and the rest is history. Later that year, the Chapter became the team’s principal charity, and $28,000 was raised to to fight Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Malvina and Morton Charlestein attend the Annual Luncheon. Since 1984, a total of $9.4 million has been raised by the Phillies for the Chapter. Morton and Malvina became involved with a group of dedicated soldiers. These included The Chapter’s Founder Felice Wiener, Dorothea Behr, and Terri and Howard Abrams, with whom they established the Philadelphia Friends of ALS –the Chapter’s first fundraising arm. Ed Lazar and Ben and Dottie Ohrenstein were also invaluable early contributors, creating what was to become the most successful ALS Association Chapter in the nation. Morton and Malvina are still involved, their granddaughter, Julie Charlestein The yellow Clivia lily, from our annual patient and family trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. Benjamin, is on the Chapter Board and daughter Ellyn remains Chapter President. In 2002, our Chapter reorganized and Jim Pinciotti became the first Executive Director. Jim leads a team of dedicated professional staff who, along with thousands of ALS volunteers, has changed the face of the Chapter from its grassroots beginnings into the National ALS Association’s “Chapter of the Year” in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007. Morton and his granddaughter, Amy. Help for Today…Hope for Tomorrow 3 30th Anniversary FAMILIES MAKING A DIFFERENCE The Lea R. Powell ALS Patient Services Program People with ALS (PALS) are our first priority. Through the generosity of all our contributors, we proudly offer the most comprehensive patient services program in the country, free of charge to PALS and their families. Over the past year, our patient services staff has provided an array of educational, recreational, patient care, family assistance, and outreach programs. patient care ALS Certified Clinics: We are proud to provide cutting-edge medical care at two multidisciplinary ALSA-certified clinics. At each center, patients and caregivers are seen by a neurologist, registered nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech pathologist, registered dietitian, mental health nurse, respiratory therapist, assistive technologist, physiatrist, gastroenterologist and social worker. Additional specialists such as a pulmonologist are available for consultation. Pastoral care has also been integrated into the Hershey Clinic. Over the past year, there were 710 visits to the ALS Association Certified Center at the Penn Comprehensive Neuroscience Center at Pennsylvania Hospital and 455 visits to the PALS Paula Watts with Mary Kelley, MSN, RN, CRNP at the ALS Association Center at Pennsylvania Hospital. ALS Clinic at Penn State-Hershey Medical Center. Affiliate ALS Treatment Centers: We also provide support for two additional clinics in our service region. One is at the Lehigh Valley Hospital and one at the Geisinger Medical Center. assistance In the advanced stages of ALS, the costs related to the disease can skyrocket. To help relieve some of the expense to families, the Chapter provides assistance with in-home care, equipment lending programs, home accessibility solutions and transportation free of charge to patients living in our service area. Home care: The Chapter offers three programs to help patients living at home and their families. The Howard I. Abrams In-Home Care program funds 2-14 hours of regular weekly care for patients living at home. Additional programs provide relief for family members who serve as full-time caregivers to a relative with ALS. These respite care programs offer caregivers 72 hours of respite per year for non-ventilator patients, or 96 hours per year for ventilator-dependent Howard I. Abrams patients. A total of 61 patients received respite care in FY 2008, and we provided 34,236 hours of home health care through the Abrams In-Home Care Program. 4 Equipment lending programs: Our lending programs provide expensive medical and communication equipment to patients. The Marjorie Shimer Equipment Loan Program loaned over 604 items over the past year, including manual and power wheelchairs, hospital beds, walkers, toileting and bathing devices, and other durable medical equipment. The Scott A. Mackler, MD, PhD, Assistive Technology Program helps patients maintain independence and interaction as the disease progresses by lending communication devices such as computers with voice output, door chimes, call bells, hands-free access devices and other Members of the Voit family enjoy the annual Holiday Party. PALS Kathryn and her husband Gerry are also very active Chapter Board Members. assistive technology equipment. Over 90 items were loaned through this program and more than 100 evaluations were made by the Assistive Technology Specialist. Accessibility: The Cox Family Fund for Accessibility gives people with ALS access to ramping, stair glides, wheelchair lifts and emergency call devices at no cost, or reduced cost, to them. Through this fund, the Chapter assisted 83 patients. Transportation program: The Chapter’s three wheelchair-accessible vans made 321 trips transporting patients and their caregivers to medical appointments, clinic visits, and recreational events. Two vans are ventilator accessible vehicles. We also subcontract for wheelchair-accessible transportation for patients living outside of a 60-mile radius from the Chapter Office in Ambler, PA. education Inservice Programs: To assist health care workers caring for ALS patients, Chapter Staff offers educational inservice programs to those working in hospitals, nursing homes, skilled care facilities, hospices and home care agencies. Staff provided 43 educational inservices this year. Resources and seminars: To help patients and their caregivers better understand and cope with the diagnosis of ALS, the Chapter offers a two-part seminar for Newly Diagnosed patients, as well as monthly resource groups throughout the region. These groups provide an outlet to Funds raised at the Mackler 5K Run/Walk support the fund that bears Scott Mackler’s name. address questions and concerns, and share experiences with others. We were proud to offer three Managing ALS teleconferences this year, addressing Assistive Technology, Medical and Symptom Management of ALS, and Resources in ALS. 5 Help for Today…Hope for Tomorrow 30th Anniversary recreation This year patients and families enjoyed three special events: 126 attendees at the Longwood Gardens Tour & Luncheon, 73 attendees at Morey’s Piers Amusement Park, 67 attendees at Linvilla Orchards Tour & Luncheon. specialty programs The Chapter recognizes the toll that ALS can take on the whole family. We provide programs and activities that address the needs of not only our patients, but everyone who is touched by the disease. Caregivers Day: “Nurturing the Nurturer” is an opportunity for full-time family caregivers to enjoy discussion groups, recreational and social activities while engaging others in their role. The Chapter provides respite services to ensure family members can attend. In 2007, 43 caregivers attended this event. Visiting Volunteer program: This program provides a “friendly visitor” to visit a person with ALS in the home to read books, share common interests, write letters, run errands, or just enjoy each other’s company. The program includes a detailed orientation by two patient services staff members and is strictly monitored. Memorial Service: More than 85 people attended the Chapter’s annual memorial service at Mainline Unitarian Church in Devon to remember and honor those who have lost their lives to ALS. At the service, we unveiled our Memorial Quilt, which featured blocks submitted by families who had lost a loved one to ALS in 2006. The Quilt, which was assembled by the Chapter’s Assistive Technologist, Alisa Brownlee, remains on display in our Chapter office. Cake decorating is always a favorite activity at Caregivers Day. 6 FAMILIES MAKING A DIFFERENCE We are doctors searching for a cure. We are medical professionals helping PALS learn to live with their disease. We are volunteers walking to raise money. We are friends, lending a hand. We are the families of people living with ALS who have formed the framework of The Greater Philadelphia Chapter for the last 30 years. Families like the Bartones. MICHAEL BARTONE of Downington, PA was young, active and vital. And when ALS took his Michael Bartone in action on the rugby field. life in 1992 at the age of just 38, his family and a close group of friends formed The Michael Bartone Memorial Foundation, dedicated to preserving his memory, kindling his unselfish inspiration, and continuing his battle with ALS. The Foundation continues his memory with an annual Rugby Tournament “Scrum for Six” (Michael wore a #6 jersey), a Golf Outing and a Dinner Dance which have raised more than $200,000 for the Chapter. A scholarship fund has provided $23,000 in scholarships to seven area students. You can read all about this amazing organization at www.eteamz.com/michaelbartonememorial. Michael’s family went beyond his blood relatives. His Uncle Charlie brought together 13 men who made sure that his battle was not over. As his brother Dominick says, “We try to represent ourselves as a group with some of Michael’s characteristics - courage, dedication, dignity and inspiration. And, The Greater Philadelphia Chapter is part of the group that is closest to him.” Bartone check presentation. battle is not lost “ Hisunless we quit. ” 7 Help for Today…Hope for Tomorrow 30th Anniversary Research Projects The ALS Association funds clinical trials, drug discovery and laboratory research on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Presently, The ALS Association oversees and coordinates more than 100 different research projects around the world. During the past decade, The ALS Association has dedicated more than $40 million toward ALS research. Each dollar has gone directly to investigators doing the research. In the last year, The Greater Philadelphia Chapter funded the following projects: Study of the toxic role of mutant SOD1/Bcl-2 complex in mutant SOD1-linked ALS Piera Pasinelli, PhD; Davide Trotti, PhD Farber Institute for Neurosciences, Philadelphia, PA A Novel Neuron Survival-Promoting sPLA2 Inhibitor As Treatment For ALS Timothy Cunningham, PhD; Terry Heiman-Patterson, MD Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA Neurotrophic self-complementary adeno-associated vectors, artificial transcription factors and siRNA designed for ALS therapy Richard Samulski, PhD University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC Function of VAP-B in early secretory pathway and protein clearance system Cedric Raoul, PhD The Mediterranean Institute of Neurobiology, Marseille, France HFE Polymorphisms and ALS James Connor, PhD; Zachary Simmons, MD Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA Alterations in retrograde signaling lead to motor neuron degeneration Erika Holzbaur, PhD University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA Davide Trotti and Piera Pasinelli in their lab at the Farber Institute.

Recently, new discoveries have been made that scientifically link Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) in a way that was not previously known. This symposium addressed what ALS/FTD is, explained the impact this diagnosis may have on patients, families and caregivers, and provided information on available support and resources. Speakers included: Murray Grossman, MD, EdD, Associate Professor, The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Department of Neurology, School of Medicine; Elisabeth McCarty Wood, MS, CGC, Genetic Counselor, The Hospital of University of Pennsylvania; Dana Clay, MS, Genetic Counselor, University of Pennsylvania; Jennifer Klapper, APRN, BC, ALS Association, Mental Health Nurse; Catherine Pace-Savitsky, MA, AFTD Executive Director; and Brenda Edelman, LCSW, BCD, ALS Association, Director of Patient Services As a result of progress over the past decade, ALS experts are hopeful that soon, new treatments will be available that can alter the course of the disease.
