FISHERS YOUTH MENTORING INITIATIVE A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT

YMI Executive Director Todd Melloh and Founder and Director of Community Engagement Darren Heil.

Writer / Janet C. Striebel Photgrapher / Demi Lawrence

The Youth Mentoring Initiative (YMI) is partnering with the Hamilton Southeastern School Foundation to provide mentoring programs for students in order to encourage healthy development of personal values.

According to the 2013 Gallup Survey, 8,872 HSE students (grades 7-12) were anonymously surveyed measuring hope for the future, engagement with school and wellbeing. The results indicate that 37 percent of these students feel stuck or hopeless, 35 percent are not engaged in school and 30 percent lack wellbeing.

“Wealth doesn’t equal health,” says Darren Heil, Founder and Director of Community

Engagement and YMI. “Though Fishers is an affluent community, wealth hides the truth of the poverty or lack of relationships of caring adults within the lives of many of these kids.”

making poor choices.”

Darren believes that due to limited budgets and small counseling departments within schools, volunteers from the community are needed to get involved and recognize the role they play in helping students feel connected, supported and validated for healthy growth and development.

Darren brings more than 15 years of service to youth development, working with teens in various capacities as a local youth pastor. His hope is to join the community with the school systems in order to create specialized mentor programs to meet the critical needs of students. The way it works is students showing signs of emotional, social or academic withdrawal “We need to stop using the phrase ‘at risk’ are typically recommended by teachers, because it gives a negative connotation counselors or administrative staff to sign up when describing kids,” explains Darren. for YMI. Students complete a questionnaire “The fact is many students simply do that helps YMI understand their interests not have a support system and feel and personalities to better pair them with disconnected. Even if we, as adults, don’t mentors. YMI provides weekly outlines have people engaged in our lives holding to help stimulate conversation between us accountable, then we too are at risk for students and mentors. atFishers.com / OCTOBER 2016 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / 11

YMI NOT MENTORING?

You don’t have to have a special degree to become a mentor for YMI. A mentor just needs to be a caring adult who is willing to spend one hour in the school each week to make a difference in the life of a student.

To watch videos about mentoring, visit ymionline.org/becomea-mentor.

A mentor informational meeting will be held Wednesday, October 19 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at New Hope Presbyterian Church.

The City of Fishers will host a 2017 Mentor Appreciation Event next April 20 at Saxony Hall as a way of celebrating mentoring.

Recently, the school administration accepted the proposal to add YMI staff to the counseling and deans’ departments. The pilot phase will begin at both Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern High Schools. The staff will help manage mentors and connect with students in need.

“Students reach out for adult contact every day. Fortunately, most of them have families that satisfy that effort. Many do not,” says Dr. Allen Bourff, Superintendent at Hamilton Southeastern Schools. “YMI offers all of us in the HSE community the chance to be there for those students who have nobody else. As a broker of mentoring connections, YMI serves a crucially important need in the community. I encourage those who can to support

YMI, so that someone is there when a young person in our community reaches out.”

The YMI 2020 Initiative’s goal is to provide one-on-one support to about 600 students in grades 5-12 through school-based mentoring in the HSE school system by 2020. Further, YMI hopes to raise $200,000 this year in order to add new volunteers, fund school campus staff and hire an administrative assistant.

Darren welcomes you to invest in the future of Fishers.

“After conducting many student interviews, we’ve learned that many kids need someone to talk to as a result of feeling disconnected.

When these students do talk to someone who cares, they inevitably feel better about themselves. We must continue to cultivate our community and invest in our youth.”

If you don’t have the time to mentor but would like to support this program, you could make a donation online.

On September 17, the Peyton Reikhof Foundation for Youth Hope held their third annual “Play for Peyton” softball tournament at Olio Fields. This tournament is held in honor of Peyton Reikhof who took her own life in 2013 at the age of 18. Dedicated to spreading awareness about mental health to athletes, coaches and parents alike, Peyton’s family and the foundation hold a one-day

This year, the guest speaker was Dr. Rob Bell, who is well known around the nation for his books, “No Fear” and “The Hinge,” both of which talk about mental toughness. He spoke with the young girls about being a good teammate, putting ‘good in’ in order to get ‘good out’ and so many other valuable life lessons. Nearly 40 teams registered for the tournament, from age groups 10U all the way to

THE CREATIVE GENIUS BEHIND JUMBLE

Jeff Knurek in his Fishers home office.

Writer / Kara Kavensky Photographer / Amy Unger

Jeff Knurek and David L. Hoyt share a unique partnership. Over the past eight years, Jeff took over illustrating the Jumble puzzle and was joined by David in 2011, becoming the most syndicated puzzle team on the planet. With a distribution through more than 600 newspapers via the Tribune syndicate, they reach more than 70 million people each day.

The popularity of the Jumble puzzle has led to several books and games celebrating their syndicated puzzles. Jeff and David headlined an event honoring the history of the Jumble to a sold-out crowd at Tribune Tower last year in Chicago.

When Jeff began cartooning for the Jumble, he became the most syndicated puzzle creator on the planet. “Anyone is fair game of being featured in the cartoon,” shares Jeff who finds inspiration everywhere. “My daughter and son are swimmers (at HSE), and I have featured their coach, the team, people at my gym…”

One such featured caricature was of yoga and spin instructor Greta Wilson whose inspired image graced the cover of one of Jeff and David’s books.

“Jeff and Kathy attended my cycle class, and we subsequently became great friends,” shares Greta. “It was a fun surprise that my likeness inspired a Jumble cartoon. My husband and I remain close friends with Jeff and Kathy. They are just great people.”

Originally, Jeff ’s agent introduced the duo. The agent suggested that Jeff connect with David regarding a game idea of Jeff ’s. A poker fan,

Jeff had designed a new take on the game, Hi/Lo. David interrupted and said, “I know what you are going to show me. Come here.”

David led Jeff to his computer where he showed him something he was working on which was basically the exact same idea Jeff had.

“Clearly we are like-minded in our thought processes,” says Jeff.

David asked Jeff if he could draw cartoons. David, who is known as “The Man Who Puzzles America,” tested him on the spot, having Jeff sketch something on a napkin. David loved the impromptu illustration, even though to Jeff, it was a poor rendering. “That drawing was awful,” confesses Jeff, but David thought it was great. “I was offered $10 per sketch. I created over 3,000 sketches for Dave,” shares Jeff.

Those 3,000 sketches accompanied David’s Jumble puzzles in a bar top gaming system. Not long after this joint venture, they began their syndication with Tribune with Boggle BrainBusters.

While the Jumble puzzle became their bread and butter, David and Jeff keep busy creating and designing additional games, both together and independently. Both are award-winning game designers. Each has created board games, electronic games and apps.

The two also manage licensing for Comedy Magician Mac King who has a popular show in Vegas. Jeff and David help market and license for Mac’s Magic in a Minute magic kits and other merchandise.

A lesser-known fact about Jeff is that while he worked at his first job as a toy inventor in Chicago years ago, he created the game, Spikeball.

Spikeball, which has become a sport, was featured on Shark Tank last year. “It was wild watching my invention on Shark Tank,” says

18 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2016 / atFishers.com

Jeff. “The guys (who now own the trademark) were asked if they had invented it, and to their credit, they told the truth and said, ‘No, they bought the trademark when it expired.’ And now I can’t go to a beach or park without seeing my invention.”

Jeff confesses that once he got over his frustration at this experience, he explained that Spikeball originally went to market for three years and was subsequently removed from the shelves due to poor response. Who could have foreseen what the future held? Jeff adds, “I am really proud of what those guys have done with it.”

“As we did a college visit with my daughter recently to IU, I noticed a flier posted in the natatorium for a Spikeball club,” says Jeff. “It’s everywhere.”

Jeff lives in Fishers, and many parents may recognize Jeff ’s efforts with past Spring Fling game themes at Fall Creek Elementary. “We went all out with the games,” says Jeff, whose kids are now at HSE HS. The latest fundraising effort that Jeff is involved with capitalizes on the Jumble and places him, along with David, in their element with “Jumble Live,” a fundraiser benefitting Indy Reads Adult Literacy programming October 18 downtown at the Hyatt Regency.

“This is an event for wordy people,” states Jeff with a smile. These are his, and David’s, tribe.

For Jumble Live, teams of eight wear the same letters as other teams and must be the first team to complete the puzzles presented by the host. The event is capped at 160 participants with many more attending for the entertainment value. “We are splitting the event to be half ‘Giant Word Winder’ and half ‘Jumble Live,’” shares Jeff.

“This allows everyone to have fun.”

“We are so excited to be presenting Jumble Live this fall,” said Indy Reads outgoing Executive Director Travis DiNicola. “Jeff and David have been great supporters of Indy Reads for years, donating artwork and their books to our auctions, appearing at our Indy Reads Books bookstore and contributing to our book, ‘Indy Writes Books.’ Working with them in moving the Jumble off the page to the stage has been so much fun. It is going to be one of the most unusual fundraising events ever!”

David, who is by far the most syndicated puzzle creator in the world right now, spent much of his summer in Chicago libraries, playing Giant Word Winder with kids in summer camps. On October 18, he gets to apply the fun to adults.

Marianne Glick CONTINUING A FAMILY LEGACY AND CREATING ONE OF HER OWN

Writer / Kara Kavensky Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Marianne Glick knows no stranger.

Everyone she sees walk into the new offices of The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Foundation receives a warm smile and a hug. As Chairman of The Glick Family Foundation Board of Directors, Marianne is honoring her passion for helping others.

Giving has been a common theme, established throughout Marianne’s

Marianne’s mother, Marilyn Koffman, was born in Detroit. Her birth mother died during childbirth, and her birth father never returned for the baby. Marilyn was adopted when she was 6 months old.

Marilyn’s adoptive father passed away “There are so many people who don't when she was 10. Several years later, she have the opportunities that I have had,” and her mother moved to Indianapolis shares Marianne. “As a community and where Marilyn attended Shortridge High as a society, we have to be able to assist School. They lived in a home just down the others and provide opportunities to help street from a young man named Eugene develop their full potential in a variety (Gene) Glick. Gene was a year older than of ways.”

Marilyn. Their mothers were friends, and life by her mother and father. Eugene and Marilyn were so focused on giving back to the community that they have collectively changed the landscape of the city of Indianapolis.

TownePost.com / OCTOBER 2016 / INDY METRO

they attended the same Temple.

After graduation from Shortridge, Gene attended Indiana University where during the summer of his senior year in 1942, he was drafted into the Army. His story is shared in Tom Brokaw’s “The Greatest Generation” and in Mickey Mauer’s “19 Stars of Indiana: Exceptional Hoosier Men.”

Not long after the war ended, Marilyn needed one more person for a bridge party, and her mother suggested she “invite that nice Gene Glick over.” They hit it off and were married two years later.

“Dad worked issuing GI loans at a bank, and Mom worked at Meridian Life Insurance Co.,” shares Marianne of her parents’ early start. “Before they married, they had

managed to save close to $10,000 and looked for land for building their first home. This began their business.”

Gene and Marilyn started a home building and real estate company together during their first year of marriage. Marilyn and Gene were both good salespeople. They worked together on all aspects of the decisionmaking. Gene was in charge of construction, and Marilyn would select and pick up the supplies. One time, she had a flat tire along Fall Creek Parkway and had to call Gene to help her. She routinely hauled a flat bed trailer behind her car and had a load of cinder block, wood and materials upon it the day of the tire incident. The work crew was waiting on those supplies but first had to fix her flat.

Giving back to the community was a constant for the Glick girls as they grew up. Marianne is the oldest and has three younger sisters. Their parents believed wholeheartedly in philanthropy. Most of their initial philanthropic involvement was centered around Jewish causes, and then in the 1970s and 1980s, they broadened their scope.

“Gene Glick, along with his wife, Marilyn, are among the most generous philanthropists in recent Indianapolis history, and that continues today in their honor,” says Mickey Maurer, Chairman of the Board of the IBJ Corporation and of The National Bank of Indianapolis.

Marianne’s first deep dive into philanthropy began with the Women's Business Initiative in the mid-80s. She was just started her own corporate training business and became very impressed with the level of support

INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2016 / TownePost.com

provided to women-owned businesses thru the WBI.

Project Committee (GIPC), then later the Children’s Bureau.

By the following year, Marianne chaired their annual conference and entered into the organization’s leadership. “It was inspirational to make a difference in women's lives,” she shares of the experience with the WBI. Thanks to her presidency of the WBI, Tom Binford approached her to lead the first women’s division of a United Way campaign.

This was a first in Indiana and one of only a few in the country at that time.

The following year, Marianne joined the United Way of Central Indiana’s (UWCI) Board. She was one of three women on this more than 90-member board. Marianne saw a vast opportunity in this discrepancy.

After her father became ill, Marianne began reassessing the Pro100 program.

By the program’s 30th anniversary, numbers were down to around 80 students in Indianapolis. The program had evolved away from golf courses, maintaining primarily an outdoor focus

“We clearly needed more women on the UWCI board and other nonprofit boards in the city. When we asked, the men said they did not know of women qualified for board positions,” states Marianne.

She worked with Ellen Annala, who had just started on United Way’s staff, to create the Women’s Leadership Program to provide training for women to serve on volunteer boards. This program is still in existence 26 years later. “Within five years, one-third of UWCI’s board was women.” Marianne is still actively involved with United Way. In 2011, she led the first annual campaign to raise over $40 million.

“If there is a cause that I am passionate about, I meet with the CEO to see if I assist in some way,” says Marianne, who is clearly not shy about her passionate commitment to community service.

In 1982, Gene began a youth employment program called Pro100.

The idea behind Pro100 was to match 100 Indianapolis-area students with local golf pros. The students completed beautification projects on the golf courses and gained exposure to landscape architecture and design, construction and groundskeeping.

Early origins of this program were run under the Greater Indianapolis

on college campus projects such as Marian University where professional development classes were offered in the afternoon to the students.

In August 2014, Pro100 became TeenWorks. In 2016, TeenWorks provided jobs and professional development training as well as assistance with college choices and applications – 325 in Indianapolis.

The Muncie chapter of TeenWorks saw enrollment increase from 20 students to 70. With a proactive stance, TeenWorks secured additional funding and is flourishing as an organization. The rebranding was just what was needed, and this all happened, thanks to Marianne’s vision coupled with an outstanding staff and board of directors.

"The Glick family's positive impact upon our city cannot be overstated," says Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. "From the Cultural Trail to their Housing Foundation to TeenWorks and beyond, their generosity continues to enhance lives, making our city stronger. While Marianne honors the legacy of her parents, she is a leader and inspiration in her own right."

In addition to all of her philanthropic endeavors, Marianne is an artist. She donates quite a bit of her art to be used in silent auctions to raise money for various organizations.

“My parents were collectors,” says Marianne who has always shared an appreciation of art. Her mother’s collection of glass is on display at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.

Marianne’s creative style, aesthetic and techniques have evolved over the last 10 years since she began painting.

“It is an out-of-body experience to see my art properly displayed and well-lit with appropriate wall spacing,” says Marianne who is a guest speaker for the Indiana Conference for Women at the end of October.

In a world of change, our focus is steadfast.

“Marianne is a lovable free spirit with multidirectional deep talents. She can motivate you, amuse you and inspire you – a great lady to invite to dinner,” says family friend Mickey Mauer.

Marianne was a challenge for her parents when she was younger. She jokes that she mellowed out and came into her own when she reached the age of 50. Now Marianne does things every day that she hopes her parents would be proud of. “My Mom, if she could see what I am doing now, would say, ‘Gee, she didn’t turn out so bad after all. Who knew?’” says Marianne with a shrug and a smile.

The Glick Foundation builds community and creates opportunities.

INTO THE WOODS

DEBUTS AT BEEF & BOARDS Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre will present its premiere production of Stephen Sondheim’s enchanting musical, Into the Woods starting Oct. 6. The Brothers Grimm hit the stage in this epic fairy tale about wishes, family and the choices we make.

The story follows a Baker (Don Farrell) and his wife (Meaghan Sands), who wish to have a child; Cinderella (Amanda Downey), who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack (Danny Kingston), who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break it. They venture into the woods where they meet Cinderella and Jack, who are each on their own quests. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both

enchanting and touching. Originally opening on Broadway in 1987, Into the Woods was brought to the big screen by Disney in 2014, earning three Oscar nominations and starring Meryl Streep as the Witch, James Corden as the Baker, Johnny Depp as the Wolf, Emily Blunt as the Baker’s Wife, and Anna Kendrick as Cinderella.

Into the Woods is on stage for 51 performances through Nov. 20 in the intimate space of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $41 to $66 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet and select beverages. Parking is always free.

NEW CATHEDRAL HIGH SCHOOL PRESIDENT

Rob Bridges Writer / Lynda Hedberg Thies . Photography / Brian Brosmer atFishers.com / OCTOBER 2016 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / 29

Robert Bridges was chosen as the sixth president to lead Cathedral High School by the Cathedral Board of Directors in October 2015 and began the new role July 1. Bridges knew from a young age that he wanted to do something that would have an impact.

Trusting the desire to make a difference, he put in motion several life experiences that impacted his life and made the opportunity to work at Cathedral his fate.

Bridges made the decision at the age of 16 that he wanted to have an impact on the world, so he contacted the Peace Corps to inquire about the program and held onto the information until after college. The Peace Corps gave him the opportunity to

do film, but the handicapped children he met left a mark on his heart and turned his attention toward education.

Bridges’ application was accepted, and he was assigned to work for the American School in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, one of the most populous Catholic communities Upon his return to the United States, in the world. Another teacher had recently Bridges taught school in the New Jersey applied and was accepted to teach at the prison system and the toughest public American School.

“Seven years ago when it was announced that Rio would host the Olympics, we made a decision to make this a family trip.

Our children are bilingual, and we made a promise to return to Brazil as often as we could to stay connected with Marcia’s family.

This worked out well for them because Marcia’s father and three brothers live right there, and they have apartments two blocks off the beach from Copacabana.

Over the years, we have created our own exchange program, bringing her niece and nephew in from Brazil to live with us for the summer and sending our kids to Brazil to live with her family for the summer.” The family had the privilege of being comfortable travelling around Rio and also being American where they connected with a lot of the U.S. athletes like Michael Phelps and made for some pretty tremendous photo opportunities.

The decision was not made lightly.

Bridges knew the opportunity would be great professionally, but that also meant considering how his children, Robbie, 18 , a senior; Gabi, 16, a sophomore; Daniella, 14, a freshman; and the youngest Sammy, 11, would feel transferring into a new school. This was not an easy task, especially since the family was happy with their community, and Bridges was comfortable in his role as Head of Muskegon Catholic Central, a K-12 school system in Michigan.

But Bridges, a doctoral student at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., knew that even though he was leaving an amazing opportunity, many things fell into place for this position, confirming that Cathedral was the right choice.

“I FEEL HUMBLED AND HONORED WITH THE RECOGNITION I AM RECEIVING, AND THIS AWARD TRULY GOES TO ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE PATIENTS AND MY GRANDMOTHER."

THESNAPLINK: HELPING ALZHEIMER’S PATIENTS HSE SOPHOMORE MAKES STRIDES FOR ALZHEIMER’S PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS Writer & Photographer / Demi Lawrence

In high school, most kids take pride in making the honor roll or a sports team.

However, Hamilton Southeastern High School sophomore Rahil Thanawala takes pride in something different, and he’s continuing to make strides.

In 2014, Rahil developed games for dementia/Alzheimer’s patients and began to sell them on his nonprofit website, TheSnapLink.org. These games include personalized puzzles and flashcards made

up of family photos for the patients to construct and hopefully to help them remember things more clearly.

Seeing his grandmother suffer from Alzheimer’s was a main source of motivation and inspiration for Rahil. His grandmother, Dayaben, is from India, but with her worsening condition, she came to live with Rahil’s family here in Indiana.

“She will look at pictures and begin talking all about someone or a funny story,” said Rahil’s mother, Rupal. “It is with these pictures that she is piecing together 34 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2016 / atFishers.com

memories and sharing those with us.”

In addition to puzzles and flashcards, TheSnapLink also donates MP3 players to Alzheimer’s patients in nursing homes.

Even back in 2014, Rahil and a few generous sponsors won a Sundance Audience Award for the screening of the film “Alive Inside,” which provided TheSnapLink with its first huge awareness event about nonprescription assistance for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients.

“Alive Inside” is a documentary focusing on

the powerful use of music as a cognitive tool for dementia/Alzheimer’s patients to use when medications fail. Filmmaker Michael Rossato-Bennett portrays the efforts of social worker Dan Cohen as he demonstrates music’s ability to help dementia/Alzheimer’s patients.

But Rahil’s impact doesn’t stop there.

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis awarded Rahil with The Power of Children award and is producing a two-minute video on Rahil that will premiere November 11-12 at the museum downtown. This award is given around the nation annually to students who run nonprofit organizations. The museum will display Rahil’s and the other recipients’ videos for a year in the museum, and each recipient will be awarded $2,000 to keep their organization blossoming.

Along with this, Rahil, with the help of a developer, will launch a mobile app for TheSnapLink October 23. This app, mostly designed for the caregivers of those with Alzheimer’s, will help expand Rahil’s nonprofit from the family business level to something even bigger. Held in the lower level of the Riley Outpatient Center downtown, TheSnapLink will hold an app launching party from 3:30-7 p.m. The event will begin with keynote speaker, Dr. Aarti Shah, who is Eli Lilly’s new CIO. Then Rahil will speak about his journey with TheSnapLink and what he hopes this app will accomplish. Finally, the ceremony will have a panel of four people: Rupal herself; a representative from the Indiana Alzheimer’s Disease Center; Vince Wong, SVP Strategy Leader at Roche; and Dr. Gary Krishnan as moderator.

“I feel humbled and honored with the recognition I am receiving, and this award truly goes to Alzheimer’s disease patients and my grandmother,” Rahil explained.

“There is still a long way to go, and this award is just the beginning of my journey.

With additional funding, I would like to improve my app and broaden my outreach for other initiatives. My goal is to continue research until a cure is found.”

STAYING FIT AT GEIST Writer / Jimmy Girot III

extension of Crosspoint and was created to help fill a fitness need here in the Geist/ Fishers area. As you know, we have an incredible number of runners here in the area and a wealth of amazing routes to run, walk and explore. However, there’s no real place outside a local running store for area runners and walkers to call to say, ‘My club is...’ or ‘I train with….’ There’s just no real spot, club or organization for locals to call their running home.

One drive around Geist Reservoir on a pristine Saturday morning, and you’re guaranteed to see countless runners, walkers and cyclists. Short-term inspiration will emerge from seeing our neighbors stay active outdoors, but such inspiration is often difficult to sustain. The monotony of fitness, especially running and walking, will decrease the likelihood of most Geist residents taking that morning stroll around the lake.

“We’re working to remedy that by offering a community where runners and walkers can connect, train and ‘enjoy the journey’ together. If there’s a race people are preparing for, we’ll help them find the right training plan and support them along that journey. The bottom line is we want to be a community where folks can connect with others on a similar path. As we all know, the journey is easier and infinitely more enjoyable when you’re sharing it with others.”

The challenge for runners and walkers is to integrate a social component – unquestionably tough to achieve outside of a fitness center. Thankfully for Geist residents, RUN XPT has created an electric and loyal community for runners and walkers.

To learn more about RUN XPT, I spoke with their passionate leader, Scott Fussell.

“Depending on the season and local youth sports schedule, we have anywhere from five to 20 show up on a regular basis.

This time of year is a popular one, given the change of season, cooler temps and training demands for upcoming fall races.

It’s going to be great to have the group back together after an extended break after our 730SummerSeries. We’re looking forward to welcoming a lot of new faces as well.”

DO YOU HAVE ANY BIG EVENTS COMING UP OR EXCITING NEWS?

“The most exciting news to share is the kickoff of our fall season. Our first group run/walk of the season is scheduled for September 24 at 7:30 a.m. From that morning through Thanksgiving, we’ll meet on the porch at Mama Bear’s (located on the corner of Brooks School and Fall Creek) every Saturday for our group outings.”

CENTRAL INDIANA ORTHOPEDICS COMES TO FISHERS Writer / Demi Lawrence

Vincent Hospital made the most sense.

Central Indiana Orthopedics is a musculoskeletal specializing facility that treats people of all ages with all different types of bone, muscle and joint issues.

Beginning in the 1940s in Muncie, CIO soon expanded to Anderson 19 years ago to accompany the growth that was happening in the North.

The new building in Fishers will be approximately a 50,000 sq. ft., two-story facility. They will house practice, physical therapy, MRIs and much more. They’re speaking with other potential tenants in the building as well that could diversify CIO and their specialties.

“It was nice to think of it in a campus spirit and how our patients could move back and forth between the hospitals and our buildings. It was just a natural fit,” Karla told. “We had a hope that as we found a home, it would also have visibility to I-69.

E G N A H C G N FUELI LISA KROSH

R O D A S S A B M US KOMEN A

“ WORK GOT ME OUT OF BED, KEPT ME A PART OF A TEAM AND KEPT ME FOCUSED.”

Writer / Jane VanOsdol Photography / Brian Brosmer

The treatment room buzzed with energy as nurses took vitals, explained procedures and prepped for the first chemo treatment.

In the midst of her stress and fear, patient Lisa Kroshus, vice president of corporate sponsorships at Indy Fuel, became aware of a persistent clicking sound. She turned, shocked and angry to see her husband taking pictures. “WHAT are you doing?” she asked. “I can’t believe you’re taking pictures of me right now. I don’t want to remember this.”

Sixteen months and 18 rounds of chemo later, Kroshus is glad her husband trusted his impulse to digitally document her fight against breast cancer. “It’s amazing to watch yourself go through that transformation because you’re sort of living outside your body the whole time it’s going on,” she said. “I can’t believe I went through all that. There were a lot of moments of not recognizing myself.”

MY JOB SAVED ME The very day after chemo and almost every day since then, Kroshus has been in her office – but not because it was required. On the contrary, Indy Fuel has been incredibly supportive, telling her to take off all the time she needed. Kroshus, however, was determined to not sit at home, focused on cancer. “Work got me out of bed, kept me a part of a team and kept me focused,” she said.

Her co-workers showered her with support, asking about treatment and pampering her with useful gifts. As the chemo sessions racked up, so did the side effects. On the rare day she could not physically make it to the office, Kroshus worked from her couch. “My job was the best medicine I had,” she said.

REMISSION With a scary stage 2 triple-negative cancer diagnosis now in remission, Kroshus is a big believer in treatment being “doable.” She is fascinated by recent strides made in breast cancer research and the subsequent change in treatment. The focus is shifting from the stages of breast cancer to the personalities of breast cancer, which allows for a much more targeted treatment.

A DIFFERENT WOMAN During treatment, a team of five doctors closely monitored Kroshus’ condition which was reassuring. Something she didn’t expect, however, in the midst of the relief was the uncertainty she felt after her final chemo session. “The team congratulates you, and then you’re done and walking out the door. I was thinking ‘Where do I go? What do I do? What happens if something happens to me?’” she said.

That uncertainty was what at first selfishly (her words) propelled her into becoming a 2016 Susan J. Komen for the Cure® Ambassador. During the introductory meeting, a vulnerable Kroshus found her wings and the answers to her questions within the supportive group of Ambassadors, all of whom had overcome immense challenges. “It was very, very powerful to be around such strong women, and I realized all the sudden that I was one of them, which was really incredible. I felt stronger immediately,” she said.

Kroshus’ focus shifted as she realized that she could draw upon the strength of all the breast cancer survivors who had walked this journey before her. She now wants to unselfishly help those

atFishers.com / OCTOBER 2016 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / 41

undergoing treatment by lending them her strength and knowledge.

THE WORK OF AN AMBASSADOR As an Ambassador, Kroshus’ duties includes attending events to raise awareness or promote research, speaking, handing out information, answering questions, attending fundraisers and doing interviews. “[We are] putting a face to the disease, rather than it just being a generic disease,” she said.

Interestingly, her involvement with Komen actually began years ago in Dallas before she was even diagnosed. Each year, she participated in Komen Race for the Cure®. She now marvels at how life has come full circle. “I was actually doing that for myself,” she said. “You never know when you may be saving your own life.”

Overall, Kroshus takes great satisfaction in encouraging women who are just starting treatment by helping them realize that although it’s difficult, they are stronger than they realize, and they can do this. “Not to minimize [cancer], but I try to sort of minimize it because I don’t want to give cancer the spotlight. It doesn’t deserve it,” she said.
