LEGEND HOLDS THAT FALL marks a thinning of the veil between worlds. Some believe that as the days grow shorter and nights stretch longer, the barrier separating the material and spiritual realms becomes more permeable — making us more receptive, closer to the unconscious, and open to unseen forces.
In that autumnal spirit — and because we love a good yarn — Pittsburgh City Paper explored two of Western Pennsylvania’s favorite urban legends.
The first, the B-25 “Ghost Bomber,” is based on true events, while the second took us on a trip down the infamous 13 Bends Road, a site of spooky stories and legends that have been passed down by Pittsburghers for generations. We enjoyed the contrast between a story — and many conspiracy theories — spun out of historical happenings versus one that’s endured through gossip and shared history, the stuff of regional folklore.
Pittsburgh archivist and historian Thomas White — whose book Legends & Lore of Western Pennsylvania was instrumental to our reporting — notes that regardless of its relationship to documented fact, folklore occupies a special place in our understanding of the world. Falling outside of traditional history, it “serves as a bridge between the academic and the popular,” revealing our hopes and fears.
We hope you enjoy two Pittsburgh urban legends to kick off fall.
ONE OF PITTSBURGH’S bestknown urban legends is mostly a true story.
At first glance, the details of the incident are simple: on Jan. 31, 1956, a B-25 Mitchell bomber made an emergency landing in the Monongahela River, was ditched by its crew, sank, and hasn’t been seen since. But nearly 60 years later, the story of the “lost bomber” or “ghost bomber” of the Mon has become the center of local conspiracy theories.
Before it disappeared, the B-25 was flown by experienced pilots, Maj. William Dotson and Capt. John Jameson. Also aboard were two more pilots and two airmen, making a total of six passengers, according to the official Air Force report — itself an object of speculation.
The bomber set out from Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada the night of Jan. 30 with a mission of flying to Olmstead Air Force Base near Harrisburg to retrieve aircraft parts.
This is because “things don’t add up,” says Andy Masich, CEO of the Heinz History Center, which maintains a B-25 “Ghost Bomber” collection in its Detre Library and Archives.
It made two refueling stops along the way, the first in Tinker, Okla. where it stayed overnight, and the second scheduled for the next day at Selfridge Air Force Base near Detroit.
“WE KNOW WHERE EVERY FORD PICKUP TRUCK, BARGE, AND SHOPPING CART IS DOWN THERE, BUT WE DON’T KNOW WHERE THAT PLANE IS.”
Masich says that by the time the crew got to Selfridge, “it was raining and sleeting, very cold outside,” Planes were lined up waiting to refuel, making for a two- to threehour delay.
“Dotson and his crew looked at their fuel gauges, which were notoriously inaccurate, and it was cold and … nobody wanted to go out on the wings with the dipstick [to check the amount of fuel]. So they just relied on their gauges, looked at each other and said, ‘You know what … I think we could make it to Olmstead.’”
As the flight pushed onward over Western Pennsylvania, Dotson noticed significant fuel loss — to this day, it’s unclear if there was a leak or malfunction — and he radioed the Greater Pittsburgh Airport requesting an emergency landing. But the plane was dumping fuel so rapidly that Dotson began to lose altitude, dipping under 3,000 feet as he headed toward the city; he sent out a mayday call, attempting to land at the Allegheny County Airport closer by.
Curving back over the Mon, both the B-25’s engines sputtered, then completely cut out, and while it rapidly descended, the bomber glided over the Homestead High Level (now the Homestead Grays) Bridge. People driving across the bridge stopped their cars to watch.
“[Dotson] cruised silently over that bridge, probably 50 feet over it, and did a perfect wheels-up landing in the Monongahela River,” Masich says, of the maneuver, also known as a splashdown. The plane floated in the middle of the Mon’s icy waters for 11 minutes before the crew ditched it and attempted to swim to the riverbank.
“By that time, there were people on shore, guys in pickup trucks,” Masich elaborates. “People stopped their cars on their way home from work. They were shouting to the guys… The water temperature was probably just above freezing. They’d say, ‘swim over here!’… There was a lot of driftwood in the river, but that wasn’t enough for all of them. Some of them were good swimmers and
some of them weren’t. And two of them were soon lost from sight.”
In the end, two airmen drowned, Capt. Jean Ingraham and Staff Sgt. Walter Soocey (their bodies were later recovered). The B-25 bomber drifted and sank into the Mon, and in the aftermath, an intensive twoweek operation conducted by the Coast Guard and the Army Corps of
Engineers failed to retrieve it. Today, its location remains unknown, even after several recovery attempts were made by groups in the 1990s and 2000s using side-scan sonar to map the bottom of the river.
“We know where every Ford pickup truck, barge, and shopping cart is down there,” Masich says. “But we don’t know where that plane is.”
The conspiracy theories generally start from this premise: no one can find the lost bomber because the government already fished it out in secret.
In Heinz History Center’s Ghost Bomber collection — which Masich gathered eyewitness accounts for — are several handwritten notes of Pittsburghers claiming they saw parts
of the plane being carted through town at night.
“I am not signing my name, because I do not wish any publicity,” reads one letter reads that claims to have seen the wings lopped off. In the 1970s, a truck driver called into a KDKA radio show saying he was hired by the CIA to haul part of the plane to a missile site at Oakdale Air Force Station, just east of Pittsburgh.
To compound suspicion, content from the Air Force’s official missing B-25 bomber report — viewable online — remains heavily redacted. (Masich says the Heinz History Center requested unredacted copies of depositions and was “flatly denied,” but the Air Force stated it was their general policy to withhold full testi monies about crashes and disasters for privacy reasons.)
The classified nature of the ghost bomber naturally rouses speculation about what could’ve been on board that the government wanted to keep secret — which is where the legend
really starts to spin out.
In the Ghost Bomber archives is a list compiled by a local historical group, Praetorian Gate, and potential hidden cargo includes: a Russian defector or spy — a “seventh man” scenario; Vegas showgirls en route to Washington D.C.; a nuclear device; a chemical or biological weapon (which, if left in the river, could’ve contaminated Pittsburgh’s water supply); mafia money; and aviator Howard Hughes. That the B-25 departed from Nevada, not far from Area 51 or Roswell, N.M. — and less than a decade after the Roswell “incident” — also brought about theories of alien cadavers or a UFO.
“All of these conspiracy theories emerged logically out of a time when there was a UFO craze … and all kinds of scandals in Hollywood and among politicians,” he says. “It didn’t seem so out of line that Las Vegas showgirls might have been going to visit their senator boyfriends aboard this plane.”

When Heinz History Center put together its Ghost Bomber collection and spoke to Maj. Dotson personally, it “changed [our] opinion on what the tone of the investigation ought to be,” Masich says. “It’s turned into kind of a fun ghost story for Pittsburghers. But to Dotson, he lost two crew members. He never wanted to talk about it afterwards.”
Masich, grew up hearing the story or “have talked to family members or friends who swear they saw it, or they saw lights on the river at night [or] a mysterious truck going through town.” Each time a tale is passed down, it’s as if the mystery begins anew.
Perhaps part of the allure is that the Ghost Bomber is hidden in plain
Masich believes that, someday, we will find the Ghost Bomber in the Mon. Climate change or construction will reveal it, or sonar and underwater detection will evolve.
And yet, the legend endures because it has “all the elements of a good story,” Masich ventures: interesting characters, reliable and unreliable witnesses, and lots of “whodunnit plot twists.”
At the History Center, the B-25 Ghost Bomber collection still draws regular visitors who, according to
sight — the idea that walking at any point along the Mon, it could be right there, just beneath the surface.
“You can [still] see the Homestead High Level Bridge. You can see the terrain that Major Dotson saw. You can imagine that plane cruising silently and splashing down in the gray waters of the Mon. And you can imagine those crew members standing on the wing of the plane shouting to the people on shore,” Masich says. “And then, it’s all gone. What happened?” •
“SOMEDAY, WE WILL FIND THE GHOST BOMBER IN THE MON. CLIMATE CHANGE OR CONSTRUCTION WILL REVEAL IT, OR SONAR AND UNDERWATER DETECTION WILL EVOLVE.”
LIKE THE STORY of the Green Man, aka the late Raymond Robinson, some Pittsburgh tall tales contain echoes of real or perceived tragedy. As Legends & Lore of Western Pennsylvania author Thomas White has written, urban legends often resonate precisely because they take place in “day-to-day normal surroundings” that we can still access — and even interact with.
One subcategory is “legend tripping,” which “involves traveling to a remote or isolated place, almost exclusively at night, where some supernatural event is said to occur,” writes White. The brave tripper is asked to perform a ritual — honking their car’s horn, flashing its headlights three times — that triggers a response, becoming part of the legend.
For whatever reason, Western Pennsylvania has a long roster of legend trips. Traveling to Blue Mist Road (aka Irwin Road) in the North Hills, you might run into a Satanic cult. It’s said if you pass through the “Bleeding Tunnel” in West Mifflin, your car will be splattered with drops of blood from a man allegedly stabbed there — whose killer was never caught.
Today, many of these sites are closed or only accessible on foot, but Pittsburgh City Paper wanted to take a traditional legend trip. We drove out to 13 Bends Road (largely thought to be Campbell’s Run Road in Harmar Township), so named because it has a disappearing bend — bending 13 times when you drive in one direction and only 12 in the other. (Fair warning to the reader: it is a private road.)
Tucked behind a short residen tial street amid dense woodlands, 13 Bends is surrounded by a lot of lore. The most popular legend goes that many years ago, even centuries back, the road was home to an orphanage that burned down, trapping chil dren inside the blaze. It is said that, at night, their handprints will appear on a dusty car, or you might be able to hear them whispering.
Another gruesome legend holds that the orphanage was actually a girl’s school and, once, a crazed mur derer stabbed 13 girls, leaving a body at each one of the road’s 13 bends. In yet another version, the school is a mine that collapsed, burying miners inside, and at night, their ghosts still wander, covered in soot.
According to Iron City Paranormal Investigators, who explored 13 Bends in 2019, other bizarre activity occurs. There are reports of apparitions, splashing water in the creek the road intersects, floating orbs, and phantom headlights. There’s even a cautionary tale about legendtripping teenagers who were killed — sometime in the 1950s — while tempting fate and driving 13 Bends. (In his book, White was only able to verify there was a dance hall on the road that burned down in the 1940s, though no deaths were reported.)
Driving 13 Bends in the dark, which takes about 10 minutes each way, it’s easy to become suggest ible. The terrain on either side of the road is sloped, with towering trees and pockets of plants you can picture something jumping out of (or alter natively, a place a body could be well hidden). Signs posted on telephone
poles reflect ominously in headlights, and more than once, we thought we heard muted voices.
though we waited diligently. Also, the road does end at a clearing with signage for CONSOL Energy’s
Counting the bends themselves also proved difficult, as we weren't sure how liberally we should interpret a "bend" in the road. The road runs on an incline, and the curves felt more perceptible when descending — so the count was, in fact, different, uphill versus downhill. One trip netted 12 bends one way and 13 the other — giving us the heebie-jeebies — but on the second run, we clocked 11 up and 14 down. Needless to say, driving this road in the dark is disorienting. We’re disappointed to report that no children’s handprints appeared,
Harmar mine (again, we do not recommend trespassing), but ghost miners declined to make a cameo. Ultimately, the road is haunting and beautiful and, maybe, more than anything, a testament to the power of suggestion on a spooky night. While exploring, we wondered if legend tripping will persist in an increasingly virtual era. In addition to being entertaining, it reveals our fears, and affords the opportunity for some real-life bravery — as long as you don’t run into a wayward spirit caught between worlds. •

IN THE RECENTLY AIRED final season of How To with John Wilson — an HBO series that, in a very roundabout and humorous way, seeks to tackle some of life’s trouble some tasks — the titular filmmaker ended up at a giant pumpkin weighoff in Connecticut. The episode, which started off as a guide to working out, veered into the “masculine urge to grow,” taking Wilson from interview ing swole humans at a bodybuilding competition to following a farmer trying to grow the largest gourd.
Viewers follow the pumpkin grower from his home to a field where his entry — which he lovingly cultivated over the course of 130 days — is lined up with other pumpkins and “the whole town comes out to look at them.”
“Everyone’s relationship with pumpkins was very uncomplicated,” says Wilson in a voiceover.
That Pittsburgh has its own tribute to enormous pumpkins only confirms that, no matter where they live, people can’t help but marvel at a 1,500-pound version of a usually 10-pound fruit. And when we’re done looking at them, we, apparently, want to see them smashed to bits.
The annual Pittsburgh Monster Pumpkins Festival — taking place this year from Sat., Oct. 21-Sun., Oct. 22 at The Stacks in the Strip District — demonstrates all the creative ways to
enjoy the most popular symbol of the fall season. Of course, autumn brings fresh apples and colorful foliage, but you can’t carve them into a mammoth Shrek or hook them to a crane and drop them three stories to the delight of a crowd.
The Pittsburgh Monster Pumpkins Festival offers a more accessible celebration for the easily spooked, providing a respite among all the
horror film screenings and haunted attractions put on in preparation for Halloween. That it’s free to attend doesn’t hurt either.
“The festival is a highly anticipated attraction for tens of thousands of people in western Pennsylvania and, really, the tri-state,” says Michael Dongilli of Vivid Pittsburgh, the organization that produces and manages the event. “It’s the perfect
fun, family-friendly thing to do.”
The festival has since found an unlikely sponsor in the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, touted as the nation’s largest medical college. Vivid Pittsburgh claims that, through the support of LECOM, the organization was able to bring back the Costume Caper 5K Run/Walk, a popular festival component that was interrupted by the pandemic. Dongilli GOURD TIMES CONTINUES ON PG. 16
GOURD TIMES CONTINUED FROM PG. 14
says the race features “several differ ent dress-up categories” encouraging runners to wear their best getups for a chance to win various prizes.
“Having the title commitment and investment support of LECOM will allow us to continue to grow and confidently entrench the event,” says Dongilli.
In addition, festival crowds will find pumpkins artfully carved into various animals, glass blowing demos, carriage rides, pie eating contests, and more.

Vivid also partnered with WTAE and the Salvation Army to make the festival’s big pumpkin drop into a philanthropic effort. As described on the event’s website, visitors are able to purchase ping-pong balls that are then placed in an inflatable pool full of water. A 2,000-pound pumpkin is then dropped 140-feet into the pool, sending the balls flying — the owner of the farthest flying ball wins a Blackstone grill with all the accessories.
Pumpkin drop proceeds benefit Project Bundle-Up, an initiative described as providing cold weather gear — including coats, hats, gloves, and boots — to children and senior citizens “from low-income house holds” throughout western Pa.

PUMPKIN BEERS ARE GREAT. I could dive into that statement more, about how pumpkin beers balance spice and rich, dessertlike flavor and create a perfect sipper for watching football on a chilly Sunday, but that would be wasting words. Pumpkin beers are great.
That being said, they’re not all “fall beer” has to offer. “Fall,” as a concept, has a richer flavor palette than simply tossing some pumpkins into the mash and calling it a day, and a whole bunch of creativity can be used to find some comforting and fun beers. With that in mind, I scoured the Pittsburgh beer scene to come up with my five choices for non-pumpkin related beer you should definitely hunt down this spooky season.
1025 Main St., Sharpsburg. dancinggnomebeer.com
I’ve certainly done my fair share of “research” on the subject of the best fall beers, but I was still curious as to what other Pittsburghers thought about the topic, to see what I may have missed. And never one to go against the will of the people, I had to include the overwhelming favorite answer that I got, Dancing Gnome’s Okta, a 5.2% Märzen-style lager. It’s a gorgeous expression of caramel and malty fall flavor, but I may as well just do a movie-trailer style cut-up of people raving about it. “It’s the finest fall beer in town.” “I could die happy with this local stunner.” Or simply: “Okta, Dancing Gnome.”
Various locations. eastendbrewing.com
A little beer nerdy here, but let’s talk whole-cone hops. Unlike “dry hops,” which are processed, pelletized, and able to be used for a long period of time, whole cone hops or “wet hops” are as fresh as you can get and must be used within a couple of days of being harvested. Therefore, East End’s Big Hop Harvest Ale is a uniquely fall beer in that it can literally only be made during this time, when they get their hop harvest from Hop Stop Farms in Mercer County. Expect a fresh, dank, and hoppy beer here that you should seek out while you can.
Various locations. arsenalciderhouse.com
I don’t purport myself to be any sort of expert when it comes to cider. While certainly enjoyable, I don’t always grasp the nuance of what makes something great in that particular world. However, I do have this particular piece of analysis to offer: “Oh, yeah, that tastes really good.” And that’s what Arsenal’s Snowbound Cinnamon achieves. It packs a wallop at 8.5% but drinks far smoother than that. It feels a lot like their core cider base, but the addition of copious amounts of cinnamon gives it a completely different twist, more a perfect beer for a fire or a pumpkin patch. (Speaking of which, you can catch Arsenal at Soergel’s Orchard all fall.)
512 Braddock Ave., Braddock. brewgentlemen.com
This is a little bit of a changeup, but a worthy one. There aren’t many styles that Brew Gentlemen
excellent job with, but Mexican Coffee deserves an extra special shoutout.
The 6.5% stout isn’t a M or traditional “fall” style, but it’s a once-a-year release that captures everything you want out of a stereo typically cozy fall beer. It uses coffee that’s as fresh as humanly possible — usually sent to BG the day after it’s roasted. They then add vanilla and cinnamon, creating a roasty and rich stout, made for sipping. (Also, if you ever get a chance to try the barrelaged version, run and do so).
800 Vinial St., North Side. Sometimes, you shouldn’t overcom plicate things. Shut up and play the hits, etc. Which is to say, Pittsburgh’s most iconic fall beer has to be Penn Brewery’s Oktoberfest. If you think of German-style beer in the city, you think of Penn, which has been brewing under their current name since 1986, with the original brewing space dating back to the 1940s. Oktoberfest is one of its staples, pouring a classic orange-ish color, with a roasty and nutty taste that is as drinkable as it is hearty. At 5.5%, it’s balanced and perfect for consuming outside on a fall day at their taproom, or the comfort of your own backyard.
Of course, this is leaving out a whole host of great beers, so if you’re around any of these places and see them around, try and scoop them up: •
Cinderlands — Danville Train
Voodoo — Schnitzeniggle
Four Points — Märzen
Trace Brewing — Festbier
Golden Age — Oktoberfest
Hitchhiker — Oktoberfest
Abjuration — Oktoberfest Märzen
Two Frays — Gemütlich Märzen Lager
Pittsburgh native Chloe Rae Kehm “manifested” her dream job in Moulin Rouge! The Musical
BY KATE OCZYPOK // INFO@PGHCITYPAPER.COMCHLOE RAE KEHM has been obsessed with Moulin Rouge! The Musical since its run in Boston, even before it made its way to Broadway. Now, the Pittsburgh native, who won a Gene Kelly Award her senior year at West Allegheny and later went to Point Park University, is looking forward to returning home from New York City with a role in her beloved show.
“I never questioned musical theater as a possible career because of how much exposure I had in Pittsburgh,” Kehm tells Pittsburgh City Paper . “My grandmother has been a season ticket holder with
the [Pittsburgh] CLO at the Benedum since 1980.”Kehm has been attending musicals in the city’s Cultural District since she was a little girl. Her grandmother would take a group of family members Tuesday nights to see summer season shows, and, occasionally, national tours of musicals.
“When I decided that I wanted to do this as a career, it was never like ‘Oh, do people do this?’ It was, ‘Of course they do!’” Kehm says. “I’d been seeing it my whole life.”
And do it she did. Kehm has appeared in the ensemble of the national tour of The Prom , as well
as in Pittsburgh CLO’s productions of Grease , Oklahoma! , Thoroughly Modern Millie , Brigadoon , and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast
Continues through Sun., Oct. 8. Benedum Center. Seventh St. and Penn Ave., Downtown. $45-155. trustarts.org
Kehm first auditioned for the touring production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical back in 2019. She says the four years it took to book the job were full of lots of “specific
manifestations” and “specific training” to get the maturity and groundedness for the level that Moulin Rouge! The Musical needed.
Earlier this year, Kehm found herself part of a boot camp of sorts — an intense, week-long rehearsal similar to what the musical Hamilton famously does. She was thrust into a specific track in the show and learned big dance numbers, the whole score, and worked with creatives on the team. At the end of the week, performers submitted tapes to higherups who then cast the show. It took Kehm an additional five months after the boot camp to get booked.
“It was equal parts ‘Oh my gosh, you’re going to be doing your dream show that you’ve dreamt about for four years,’ but it was also on the contrary me thinking, ‘Chloe, you have literally worked so specifically and manifested this so intentionally, there’s no way that this wasn’t going to happen.”
For example, Kehm notes a line where Satine (the female lead) whispers into Babydoll’s ears “the corset is too tight, I’m all tied down.” Babydoll responds, “Tell me about it!”
“As a man, it would refer to being tucked or being in three pairs of tights and heels,” Kehm says. “I would have to kind of flip it and say some-
Kehm is a part of the ensemble, and an understudy for the supporting role of Babydoll.
Moulin Rouge! The Musical specifically splits the ensemble into two parts, Kehm tells City Paper . There are the “heels” ensemble and the “flats” ensemble. “ Moulin Rouge! The Musical likes to keep things very gender neutral and welcoming to all humans,” she adds.
Kehm is part of the heels ensemble, meaning she wears a heeled shoe. She will be on stage for nearly every dance scene. She was eager to share that she’ll be part of “fun, big lifts” that are hard technical features, but also fun moments where she is above everyone’s heads.
A favorite dance section is “Roxanne,” which was a part of the 2001 movie. “The choreography is just so genius with really contemporary concert dance partnering put into a musical theater setting with intent and storytelling,” Kehm says. “It’s a very beautiful moment.”
Kehm’s understudy role, Babydoll, was originated by Jeigh Madjus. The role is normally played by a male, but Kehm identifies as female.
“We don’t ever describe it as drag, but the character is a man dressed as a female in heels,” Kehm says. The show has one male and one female understudy for the role. Lines are tweaked to fit the circumstance of the particular performance.
thing like, ‘I’m in a corset too, girl, I feel it!’”
Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a 10-time Tony Award winner, including for Best Musical. Kehm describes it as a spectacle, and immediate escape. You walk into the theater and are instantly immersed in 1899 Paris. The costumes, by longtime Broadway costume designer Catherine Zuber, are very intricate and what Kehm calls “some of the most beautiful things I have ever put on my body.”
While the show is set in Paris at the turn of the 20th century, it is a classic old love story with a contemporary twist. The musical takes things a step further than the 2001 movie, incorporating songs that have been released in the last 20 years, including favorites from Beyoncé, P!nk, Lady Gaga, and Adele.
“At the root of Moulin Rouge! is that it’s a place to belong for everybody — it’s a true celebration of artists, and a celebration of truth, beauty, freedom, and love,” Kehm says, noting the original movie’s main themes that are part of the musical, too.
Kehm particularly relates to the love part. “How many people can really say they do what they love every single day?” she posits.
Kehm believes the show will thrive in Pittsburgh, as we are a “city that does love and celebrate art in all forms.” •

IF YOU’RE FEELING like the bohemians of 1899 Paris and want to grab a drink, buy a vintage outfit, or take in some art, here are some options to live like Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and his fellow boho friends at the Moulin Rouge!
1. To invoke the spirit of the unconventional artists who were the bohemians, Moulin Rouge! The Musical ensemble member and understudy for the role of Babydoll Chloe Rae Kehm says we are lucky in Pittsburgh to have offbeat museums such as The Andy Warhol Museum, Randyland, and The Mattress Factory. “We have so many oddly beautiful installations in Pittsburgh,” Kehm says.
2. Prohibition era bar the Speakeasy at the Omni William Penn is a great place to stop before seeing Moulin Rouge! The Musical, as it offers cocktails like “Death in the Evening,” made with “The Green Fairy” (aka absinthe), a popular drink for artists and creatives (Toulouse-Lautrec was said to imbibe).
3. As a true bohemian, you’ll need a creative outfit. Three Rivers Vintage serves up some classic items. Spend some time in the shop (by appointment only) to put together a perfect period ensemble.
4. Of course, if you can’t get to Paris, a proper Parisian-inspired dinner is the next best thing. Paris 66 Bistro on Centre Avenue is a cozy French bistro serving authentic dishes like escargot, filet mignon, chocolate mousse, and macarons. •
Hope is on the horizon as communities across Pittsburgh gear up for the annual “Walk to End Alzheimer’s” event. This year, we invite you to join hands, hearts, and soles to walk for a cause that touches many lives across the region.
Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive and debilitating brain disorder, is not only a health crisis but also a deeply personal journey for countless families. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, a general term for the loss of cognitive function and memory. More than 6 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s disease, two-thirds of those are women. Close to 400,000 Pennsylvanians live with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.
The Alzheimer’s Association is a worldwide, voluntary health organization committed to Alzheimer’s care, support, and research. Their mission is to lead the fight to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementias through global research, driving risk reduction and early detection and maximizing quality care and support. The Alzheimer’s Association Greater Pennsylvania Chapter has resources on its website, alz.org/pa, and a 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900.
The Alzheimer’s Association supports a multitude of diverse research initiatives including brain health and disease prevention, new treatments, and caregiver support. “We’re closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer’s as we fund important research in Pittsburgh,” said Lynzy Groves, development manager for the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Pennsylvania Chapter. “We hope that everyone in our community can join us by starting a Walk to End Alzheimer’s team to help raise awareness and funds for families facing the disease today, take more steps toward treatments, and finally ending this disease.”
The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research programs. It is more than just a fundraising walk; it’s a movement to raise awareness, and hope; a powerful symbol of our collective determination to find a cure and support those facing this disease. In 2022, more than 300,000 people participated in more than 600 communities raising more than $90 million. So far this year, the Greater PA Chapter has raised over $315,000 for this year’s walk which is well on their way to reaching a fundraising goal of $525,000.
This year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Pittsburgh will be held on Saturday, October 14 at Highmark Stadium. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. with an opening ceremony at 10:30 a.m. and commencement of the walk at 11:00 a.m. The short route is about 1 mile long and the long route is about 2 miles long. Whether you’re a seasoned marathon runner or prefer a leisurely stroll, the Walk is open to people of all ages and fitness levels. On Walk Day, participants honor those affected by Alzheimer’s with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony — a mission-focused experience that signifies our solidarity in the fight against the disease. During the ceremony, walkers will carry flowers of various colors, each color representing their personal connection to the disease. At the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s, we’re fighting for a different future. We are fighting for families facing the disease today, for more time, and for treatments. Lace up your shoes and register today at act.alz.org/pittsburgh. Your steps can make a difference in the lives of those affected by Alzheimer’s.
