On the cover – ALS patient Margaret Frantz of York, PA is presented with her Comfort Shawl by Barbara Gascho, RN, CPN, Pastoral Care Counselor at The Hershey ALS Association Clinic and
Research Center. These shawls are often used as spiritual intervention in our ALS Clinics. They are knitted or crocheted by anyone
offering this healing support to another person. Often a previous
recipient such as a caregiver makes the shawl for a patient. For
some it becomes a prayer shawl. Says one recipient, “Every day
the shawl is there to remind me that I am not alone.”
Diana Metcalf was a talented horticulturist who developed not only her own
beautiful gardens, but also designed and tended to the magnificent gardens
of others in the Philadelphia region, A devoted wife and mother, ALS cut short
Diana’s life in March of 2009. Diana’s legacy is her book, Diana’s Gardens, which
features beautiful photographs by Jane Ruffin as shown above.
Dear Partners in Hope,
We understand that no one organization does
anything alone. We know that it is only with your

and volunteers - that we are able to accomplish

Lea R. Powell
ALS Patient Services Program
T
he Greater Philadelphia Chapter proudly offers
comprehensive support and resources free of charge
for patients diagnosed with ALS and their families
and caregivers through the Lea R. Powell ALS Patient
Services Program. We strive to provide assistance to
patients and members of their support network struggling
with issues related to ALS. The average annual cost of
caring for an ALS patient is $250,000. Your contributions
assist PALS* in a variety of ways.
Patient Care
ALS Certified Centers – At each center, patients and caregivers are seen by up to 12 specialists. The Clinics are multidisciplinary centers for the evaluation and treatment of ALS and
related disorders. The clinics establish a definitive diagnosis
in patients referred for the disease and once a diagnosis is
established, provide
care in a supportive
and understanding
environment which
will enable the patient to attain the
best possible level of
neurological functioning and the best possible quality of life.
In fiscal year 2010,
there were 693 patient visits to The

Assistance
The Lea R. Powell Program offers an array of educational,
recreational, patient care, family assistance and outreach
programs for ALS families.
Home Care:
• The Howard I. Abrams In-Home Care Program provided up to 12 hours of regular weekly care for patients
living at home. 109 patients were served with 24,167
hours of care.
• Respite Care programs offered caregivers of 40 patients
a total of 1,050 hours for non-ventilator patients. Additionally 7 ventilator dependent patients received a total
of 504.25 hours of care..
The Marjorie Shimer Equipment Loan Program loaned
a total of 580 items including medical equipment such as
wheelchairs, hospital beds and other durable medical equipment. This encompassed our entire broad service area. The
Clinic at Pennsylvania Hospital generated over 62 referrals
for wheelchairs alone.
The Scott A. Mackler, MD, PhD Assistive Technology
Program addresses our patients’ communications needs..
It loaned over 75 items and 35 evaluations were conducted
at Pennsylvania Hospital by Alisa Brownlee, the Assistive
Technology Specialist (ATP). These evaluations represented over $200,000 worth of
equipment for PALS. This Clinic made over
25 referrals to the Veterans Administration
(VA) for augmentative and alternative
communication (AAC), computer access,
and wheelchair evaluations. Evaluations
are made at the Hershey Clinic as well.
Additionally, Ms. Brownlee speaks frequently about the state of this field for the  Alisa Brownlee, ATP
Chapter and our National Organization, ALSA, and conducts
in-service educational programs for healthcare professionals.
Ms. Brownlee is only one of eight specialists working for an
ALS Chapter in the role of assistive technologist.
Because of Ms. Brownlee’s support from the Chapter she
has a great impact on PALS across the country and over the
last few years she has become the “go to” AT person nationally. She is the “Ask the Expert” on the ALSA Website so
patients worldwide can e-mail her with their AT questions.
3
ALSA is currently partnering with other organizations to increase The ALS Association’s impact on ALS through these
assistive technology programs:
a. AAC/AT consultation program through Dyna Vox Technologies provides access by Chapter, clinic and center
staff members, as well as people with ALS and families, to the information and education regarding communication needs.
b. Hatachi of Japan and the Georgia Institute of Technology for FDA clinical trial testing efficacy of Brain
Computer Interface Devices for use by people with
ALS who are completely incapable of communicating
to do so. Presently Scott Mackler, MD, PhD of Delaware is one of the few PALS able to use this complex,
but effective, system.
“My job is to use technology to get an ALS patient communicating so they can be an active participant in their family and
community life, be more independent, and make medical decisions….Electronic AAC devices range in price from $4,000$10,000 – most providing insurers will pay 80% of that cost,
leaving a 20% co-pay for families – that is why your support
is so valued. No matter what the challenge for people with
ALS, there are solutions out there and we are here to help.”
Inservice Programs:
Educational In-service Programs were provided by staff to
assist health care workers caring for ALS patients on 43 occasions.
Resources and Seminars helped patients and their caregivers better understand and cope with the diagnosis of ALS.
Programs included 6 Newly Diagnosed programs, 13 monthly
resource groups throughout the region and 1 Bereavement
Group which provide an outlet to address questions and concerns, and share experiences with others. A record 93 PALS
participated in the 3 Managing ALS teleconferences.
Recreation
Programs included ALS family trips to Longwood Gardens
with 135 attendees, 83 PALS and their families visited Morey’s Piers in Wildwood, NJ and the Annual Holiday Party
drew 183 guests who enjoyed music by Hot Hot Hot Entertainment, caricatures, food, fun, gifts and games.

and learned tips to assist in caring for a loved one with ALS.
The Cox Family Fund for Accessibility assisted 72 patients
with stair glides, ramping, and emergency call systems at no
or reduced cost to them.
Ventilator Conference
Transportation Program
The Chapter’s three wheelchair-accessible vans made 231
trips transporting patients and their caregivers to medical appointments and clinic visits. Two vans are ventilator accessible. We also subcontract for wheelchair accessible transportation for patients living outside of a 60 mile radius from
the Chapter Office in Ambler, PA.

Visiting Volunteer Program
Established in 2002, this program provides a “friendly visitor” to a person with ALS in his/her home to read books,
share common interests, write letters, run errands, make
phone calls, use computer software and more. Nineteen
volunteers visited with patients regularly.

ALS Research Update…………
Hope for Tomorrow
A
t the end of 2008, Time magazine named ALS
research using a patient’s own skin cells as the
science story of that year. This discovery and many
more were the focus of research in 2009.
Among the many research accomplishments were:
• The identification of a new gene, ALS6, responsible
for 5% of all inherited ALS cases
• The start of the first ever stem cell trial in ALS
patients in the U.S.
• The anti-sense trial, designed to “turn off” the
production of unwanted mutant SOD1 linked to
20% of familial ALS.
• The ramping up of the Ceftriaxone trial.
• The continuation of the Knopp Neurosciences
Phase 2 trial.
At our ALS Association Center at the University of Pennsylvania’s Comprehensive Neuroscience Center, Drs. McCluskey
and Elman, genetics counselor Dana Falcone, and Katelin
Hoskins, Nurse Research Coordinator are involved in
numerous studies and are partnering with Drs. John
Trojanowski and Virginia Lee at Penn’s Center for Neurodegenerative Research.
Lucie Bruijn, PhD, ALSA Chief Scientist
Research and Development, was a key
speaker at the Chapter’s October 2009
Research Symposium..
At our ALS Center at Hershey Medical Center, Drs. Zachary Simmons and James Connor continue their outstanding
ALS research work along with research coordinator Helen
Elizabeth Stephens and research assistant Ally Brothers. The
Hershey team, led by ALS Clinic Nurse Specialist and Regional
Nurse Coordinator Susan Walsh, focus on the importance of
quality of life issues.
The United States government has an extremely active role in
ALS research, continuing funding for the ALS Registry which
is managed by the Centers for Disease Control. In addition,
the ALS Research Program is benefitting from the $5 million
appropriated to fund the ALS Research Program at the
Department of Defense.
Duane Wallace and his wife, PALS* Valarie
attended the Symposium.
As we look ahead to the ALS research effort in 2010, we do
so with much anticipation.

ALS Advocacy
A
2009 EVENTS
dvocacy for research, health & long-term care, and caregiver
support are among the top priorities of the Advocacy Department of The ALS Association, which provides people with ALS
and their families an active and strong voice in the Nation’s Capital and
State Capitals across the country.
Each year, the ALS Association hosts a Public Policy Conference and
Advocacy Day in Washington, DC, to give people with ALS and their
families an opportunity to present the ALS case to their legislators. In
2009, the event drew hundreds of PALS, caregivers and family members, including over 50 from the Greater Philadelphia Chapter.
FEBRUARY
In addition, the Greater Philadelphia Chapter and Western Pennsylvania
Chapter are working together to seek funding and support from the state
of Pennsylvania. The Chapters join at the annual ALS Awareness Day in
Harrisburg and advocates make regular trips to the Capitol throughout
the year.

In the past year, The ALS Association successfully advocated for:
An additional $6 million for the national ALS registry at the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, which may become the single
largest ALS research project ever created. The funding is a 20% increase
over last year, bringing total funding for the registry to nearly $16
million.
We secured a 50% increase in funding for the ALS Research
Program (ALSRP) at the Department of Defense (DOD), as Congress
provided $7.5 million for the program this year. The ALSRP is the only
ALS specific program at DOD and is focused on translational research
with the explicit goal of finding a treatment for ALS.
In FY 2009, more than 2,000 military veterans with ALS, their
families and survivors were awarded benefits totaling over $129
million! These benefits include monthly disability compensation, adaptive housing grants, aid and attendant benefits, and full health care. This
is the result of historic regulations the Association helped to champion
that establish ALS as a service connected disease. The regulations do
not expire so benefits will continue to be available to veterans with ALS
and their survivors regardless of the date of diagnosis or death.
For the second consecutive year, Congress appropriated an additional
$2.5 million for respite care, bringing total funding for respite to $5
million over the past two years. The funding is available to states on
a competitive grant
basis and will be
used to expand
the ability of states
to support local respite care programs
available to people
with ALS and other
diseases.
On April 23, 2009 a hearing was held in Harrisburg,
PA in which patients, family and staff were present.

The Phillies
The Chapter is proud to be the principal charity of the Phillies.
The entire organization works year-round to raise funds and
awareness for ALS. The highlight of the year is the Annual Phillies Phestival, which raised a record $867,670 in 2009 for ALS
research and patient services. To date the team has raised $11
million for the Chapter.

Curt and Shonda Schilling
“So for those very people (PALS and their families) we stand here and
offer our sincere thank you, but also want to ensure that you all know
we are accepting this on their behalf, for it’s on their shoulders we
stand and it’s on their work we fight, battle every day…”
From the Schillings ALSA Hall of Fame Induction Speech
The Schillings became involved with the Chapter in the early 1990’s
when the young Phillie pitcher met PALS Dick Bergeron. They began
two very important fund raising events – Curt’s Pitch for ALS and the
Curt Schilling Golf Outing. Since that time, Curt and Shonda moved
on to Arizona and Boston, and even though Curt is now a retired ballplayer, their hearts remain with The ALS Association.
In May 2009, Curt and Shonda were inducted into the ALS Association’s Hall of Fame and received the award during a special ceremony at
the National ALS Advocacy Day and Public Policy Conference.
