Rick Sharp Alzheimer's Foundation | Impact Report

WHAT WOULD RICK DO?

The goal of the Rick Sharp Alzheimer’s Foundation is simple: Cure this Disease. We are driven every day by this passion and challenged by the question, “What would Rick do?”

Whether it was cars, boats, or one of his successful business ventures, Rick was relentless in pursuing a goal. When he met Sherry Sharp in high school, he knew that he had met his partner for life and was laser-focused on marrying her. When diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, he channeled innovation and his dynamic spirit, participating and encouraging his family and team to look for a cure that would someday stop Alzheimer’s. Rick would say, “We’re not thinking big enough, go find a faster way to a cure.” Rick believed that with the right team anything could be accomplished. He knew his efforts would be too late for him but wanted to make a difference for his grandchildren, other families like his, and caregivers. Unfortunately, in 2014 Rick ran out of time leaving behind his loving wife and partner Sherry, two beloved daughters, and four cherished grandchildren.

As we continue the race to a cure with his namesake foundation, we often ask ourselves, “What would Rick do?”

Shortly after his death, Sherry joined the board of the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, establishing a relationship with the research engine that best aligned with our team’s values. With overwhelming support of a lifetime of friends and colleagues, in 2015 Sherry founded the Rick Sharp Alzheimer’s Foundation. Driven by her faith in God, her belief in the good nature of people, and the support of a growing donor base, we continue to gain momentum. If Rick were here today, he would be proud of our progress yet push us all to do more.

Since our founding, we have designated every dollar raised to research for effective treatments and a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease. Together with your support, we have donated over $2 million towards that goal. But there is much more work to be done.

Your support makes the difference. So ask yourself: “What would Rick do? What can I do?”

WHY WE GIVE

A NOTE FROM

RICHARD BIRNBAUM

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Dear Friends and Supporters;

On behalf of my fellow board members, I am proud to share a review of our past five years and a glimpse into the future. Without the hard work and support of every person and organization included here, none of the impact contained in this report would be possible. In reviewing our list of almost 1,000 donors, many who have multi-year gifts, I was struck by the magnitude of your generosity. Many of you have been touched by Alzheimer’s and dementia and have joined our race for the cure. For that I am grateful.

Whatever your motivation, I know you have a choice in where and how to show your support for finding a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease. Rick Sharp challenged friends and family to find a cure believing the answer could be found with a forward-thinking cutting-edge mindset, great team, and technology-driven scientific research. Sound familiar? Think Crocs, CarMax and Circuit City.

Our team has worked hard under the banner of, “What would Rick do?” to fulfill his and Sherry’s goal of finding a cure. But we need your help!

We have been good stewards of your philanthropy, carefully vetting and funding the scientists and research projects that will ultimately impact curing this relentless disease. Rick Sharp Alzheimer’s Foundation has provided over $2 million to date in Alzheimer's research grants. Our board has approved an additional $400,000 in research funding for 2020.

Why give to the Rick Sharp Alzheimer’s Foundation:

• 100% of donations go directly to research.

• We are driven by a sense of urgency in finding a cure.

• Research, clinical trials, and breakthroughs still happen every day.

• We cast a broad net when looking at projects and are not committed to any one hypothesis or institution.

• Our venture capital mindset looks at projects that others may pass on as too early, unique, or risky. We believe in high risk and high reward with appropriate vetting and data-driven follow-up.

• You too can gain access to some of the finest minds in neuroscience and treatment via our “Alzheimer’s Day in RVA” events.

On behalf of “Team Sharp” I wish to thank you for your continued support. I also want to thank our amazing volunteers for their hard work and extraordinary commitment.

Appreciatively,

Chairman Rick Sharp Alzheimer’s Foundation

MAKING A DIFFERENCE THROUGH RESEARCH

The Rick Sharp Alzheimer’s Foundation is a uniquely positioned organization. We’ve built strong affiliations with nationally renowned scientists, labs, universities, hospital systems, and the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. These relationships allow us access into the collaborative world of Alzheimer’s research. We work with the best and brightest to select projects aligning with our mission. Our methodology includes:

• Scientific Symposiums

• Field Trips & Lab Visits

• Request for Proposals

• Board Guidance

• Project Reviews

• Trusted Advisors

The Cure Alzheimer’s Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to funding research with the highest probability of preventing, slowing or reversing Alzheimer’s Disease. The vision for Cure Alzheimer’s Fund was set by the founders. Frustrated with the slow pace of research about the disease, they applied their experience in venture capital and corporate startups to build an organization specifically designed to accelerate research, make bold bets, and eradicate the disease. Sherry Sharp joined the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund Board in 2014. Their CEO Tim Armour and team are an invaluable resources in supporting our events, research, and fundraising.

The Virginia Alzheimer’s Disease Center is advancing research by knitting the community together through focused collaborations. Scientists, caregivers, and persons with dementia are improving our understanding of the aging brain. They serve all individuals, with increased efforts toward the needs of underserved populations.

Established in 1984, the goal of the JHM Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center is to accelerate the discovery of new treatments that are directed at the mechanisms of the disease and hasten a time when effective treatments become a reality. Extensive resources are available for both individuals and researchers.

The MGH Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center is at the forefront of dementia research by bringing together scientific and clinical multi-disciplines to improve research and health care delivery. Central to its mission are research, training scientists, and Alzheimer’s Disease education.

OUR RESEARCH PARTNERS

THE ALZHEIMER’S GENOME PROJECT

The Alzheimer’s Genome Project (AGP) launched in 2005 to advance the genetic work to identify the origins and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease. The AGP is using genomic analytic tools to create and mine databases of the genetic codes of tens of thousands of individuals to identify which variants impact the risk of Alzheimer’s or its presentation.

Phase I identified more than 100 new gene variants implicated in Alzheimer’s risk. Phase II used wet lab projects to identify which pathways play a role for these genes, including amyloid beta protein generation, tangle formation, the regulation of planned cell death, and more.

Phase III is now being carried out in parallel to Phase II, and includes sequencing the genes of both early-onset and late-onset families. Gene regulation is emerging as a key question because it can change as an organism ages and in response to environment. These tools offer new opportunities for understanding and intervening in Alzheimer’s Disease.

PATHOGENIC MECHANISMS IN ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

Dr George S Bloom

Professor of Biology, Cell Biology and Neuroscience University of Virginia

Research in the Bloom Laboratory is focused on the earliest steps that cause Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), including cognitive decline and abnormal structures in the brain. The goal of the Laboratory is to define the biochemical processes that connect these things, and leverage our findings to develop more effective therapeutic and diagnostic tools.

One of our discoveries was that memantine, an FDA-approved drug for mild and temporary symptom relief for advanced AD, might prevent or delay symptoms if provided to patients at risk of AD beginning many years before the symptomatic phase of the disease typically begins.

OUR RESEARCH PARTNERS

DISCOVERING AND UNDERSTANDING NEW MEDICINE

The primary research focus of the Lazo Laboratory is on discovering new drugs and understanding their mechanism of action with a special emphasis on cancer and neurodegeneration.

Our research on Alzheimer's disease explores the mechanisms causing the death of neurons, especially the intracellular signals that cause aberrant DNA replication in terminally differentiated neurons and the ways in which we might prevent this pathological phenomenon. We use automated single cell microscopy, induced pluripotent human stem cells, messenger RNA sequencing and computational methodologies to investigate the pathways involved in cell cycle re-entry and chemical libraries to identify new lead compounds for further study.

Most recently, we have developed novel experimental platforms that should enable the rapid screening of human neuronal cultures for new agents that might be used to treat individuals with Alzheimer's disease.

THE JOHNS HOPKINS APPROACH TO PRECISION MEDICINE

OUR RESEARCH PARTNERS

Recognizing the importance of precision medicine in the future, Johns Hopkins launched the Precision Medicine Centers of Excellence (PMCoE), involving a deep bench of clinicians, scientists, engineers, and others to each focus on a particular disease. The PMCoE in Alzheimer’s Disease (PMCoE-AD) was founded in 2019.

The core hypothesis at the PMCoE-AD is the existence of a finite number set of relevant Alzheimer’s subtypes that can be defined using genetic, biologic, and other factors. The ultimate goal is to translate research into knowledge, leading to clinical care that impacts the different trajectories of Alzheimer’s Disease, and the development of specific therapeutics based on a new understanding of the disease mechanisms.

The PMCoE-AD convenes top clinicians and researchers from such fields as psychiatry, neurology, geriatric medicine, radiology, and more. Using their combined wisdom and the immense data set from Johns Hopkins, they can recommend targeted medications and other treatments. These lead to some “early wins” and more novel treatments.

The PMCoE-AD is affiliated with the Memory and Alzheimer’s Treatment Center (MATC) at Johns Hopkins Bayview. Thanks to its reputation for cutting-edge care for patients, it attracts over 700 patients each year. Most allow access to their medical records to expand MATC research. Among those records are almost 2,000 MRI scans, other brain imagery and laboratory results, and clinical care data.

The Center is led by Constantine Lyketsos, MD, MHS, and the Elizabeth Plank Althouse Professor of Alzheimer’s Disease Research. He founded and directs the MATC and is the associate director of the AD Research Center. A world authority in treatment development for Alzheimer’s, he has been awarded for his work, authored numerous articles and books, and been cited over 45,000 times. He has been a Castle-Connolly Top Doctor since 2001.

Why I do this work: I am a doctor above all. For 25 years I've been at the front lines of treating people with dementia and their families. When I entered the field there was great optimism that major cures for brain diseases were "just around the corner." This phrase seemed to echo for a decade and a half at scientific meetings, NIH grant review committees, and the media. I have not heard that echo in quite a while. It has been replaced by silent apprehension derived from major disappointment in the outcome of the (amyloid) bets our field has taken.The advances of the last 2 ½ decades relate to (1) how much better we are at taking care of patients and (2) understanding how complex Alzheimer's dementia is, so that it can no longer be considered a unitary entity. I am in this fight to make sure that the best possible care is widely available every day for all, and to influence the field to move towards understanding scientifically the various types of Alzheimer's that are therapeutically relevant. The Johns Hopkins Precision Medicine Center of Excellence, which I have envisioned for the past five years, is all about meeting these priorities.
