For Regina Shih, Ph.D., dementia is both personal and professional. Her grandmother lived with vascular dementia, a diagnosis that changed the dynamics of her family. “Before her diagnosis, she was the vibrant and joyful matriarch of our large family.”

That experience, paired with years of scientific training, shaped Regina’s commitment to understanding dementia not only as a disease, but also as a public health challenge influenced by social, behavioral and environmental factors.

Today she is a researcher and Professor of Epidemiology at the Emory University Rollins School of Public Health. Her research focuses on the environmental risk factors for dementia, supporting family caregivers and improving dementia care systems and policy.

As an educator, Regina is passionate about preparing the next generation of public health leaders using the Alzheimer’s Association’s “A Public Health Approach to Dementia” curriculum. “Featuring the Association’s curriculum is central to our course on Epidemiology of Aging,” she shared. “It gives me an existing tool for evaluating students' knowledge, and it is also a great opportunity for them to see how health communication can be done in an engaging way.”

💜 During , we are proud to celebrate Regina for her dedication to research, education and public health.

Sean Terwilliger of Massachusetts is Alzheimer's Impact Movement's (AIM) May Advocate of the Month! 📣

It took Sean six years to receive his Alzheimer’s diagnosis. While recovering from a mini-stroke in 2018, he became concerned about his cognitive health. It was difficult for him to find the right word and he forgot appointments. His concerns went unaddressed for years. It wasn’t until he and his wife Wendy moved to Massachusetts that a physician finally listened. In July 2024, Sean was diagnosed.

Just two years after his diagnosis, Sean has already attended the AIM Advocacy Forum in Washington, D.C. and Massachusetts State Advocacy Day. At these events, he has shared his Alzheimer’s experience with offices of elected officials.

“It is incredibly important work…and you’re doing it with people who genuinely care about you and the process that you’re going through.”

Sean will attend the upcoming AIM Advocacy Forum where he’ll continue raising his voice. This year, his focus is on growing support of the bipartisan Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act, which will allow Medicare to cover routine blood tests.

“If there was a routine and inexpensive blood test, perhaps when I had been presenting with odd symptoms I might have learned I had Alzheimer’s earlier and been able to join clinical research trials.”

🎾 From the time 14-year-old Jonathan Squitieri picked up a tennis racquet at age four, the sport has been a constant part of his life. Tennis has given him more than competition and community — it’s become a powerful way to make a difference.

Jonathan turned his passion for tennis into a way to honor his Nana by participating in Do What You Love to End ALZ. He channels his love for the game into meaningful action that brings people together on the court to raise awareness and funds in the fight to end Alzheimer’s.

With the help and support of his parents, Jonathan hosted his first Acing Alzheimer’s event when he was 12 years old. Now in its third year, the event continues to grow with players of all ages taking the court. Acing Alzheimer’s has raised over $42,000 in total to support the Alzheimer’s Association.

What fuels Jonathan year after year is knowing the impact goes beyond fundraising. “It brings me joy to support a cause that has impacted my family,” he shares. “I know every day that my Nana would be proud of me.”

Jonathan hopes his story inspires other kids and teens to take action in their own way. “There are so many ways to get involved in Do What You Love to End ALZ,” he says. “It feels so good to do something to make the world a better place, even if it’s just a small contribution.”

💜 This National Tennis Month, we’re celebrating Jonathan and all of the other Do What You Love to End ALZ participants who are turning their passion into action to help end Alzheimer’s. Join them by visiting alz.org/dowhatyoulove.
