At the age of 55, Adrian (Adie) was diagnosed with early onset dementia. Here, Adie and his partner Michele tell us their story about how their lives have changed and the challenges that they now face.
On December 12, 2022, three former US Navy SEALS and a retired US Marine launched from Spain’s Canary Island, La Gomera, in a rowboat race that would last no less than 30 days. What lies ahead? Rowing two men at a time, 2 hours on, 2 hours off–every hour, of every day–until they crossed the finish line 3000 miles away on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
With more than 700 days of team building, logistics and training leading up to this race they face total uncertainty. Through intimate interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, The Standard–a 2023 documentary film from Rogue Fitness–shows the enormous amount of mental and physical preparedness required for this competition; from building a team and a vessel in lockstep, to forging the trust and camaraderie needed to spend more than a month together in tight quarters, with only the food they brought and the fresh water they can make.
Team Shut Up & Row (SU&R) has recruited world renowned and world record holder Angus Collins as their coach and team manager. The team includes four U.S. Military veterans with well-earned reputations for tackling extreme challenges: James Hein, Chriss Smith and team captain Brian Nicholson, the SEALs and Rogue Journeyman Brian “Tosh” Chontosh, the Marine. They came together with a shared love of adventure and a mission to raise awareness and support for the Big Fish Foundation, a charitable organization, founded by Chontosh, that helps veterans transition to civilian life through a renewed connection to the fundamental principles of service.
The Standard is part of Rogue Fitness’s growing library of original documentary films, all of which can be found on the Rogue Youtube page or in the Rogue Index here: https://www.roguefitness.com/theindex/documentaries

Victoria “Tori” Murden is the living embodiment of perseverance. In 1998, the American rower was hired by an Italian company to row across the Atlantic Ocean by herself. While on her voyage, she captured incredible video of her journey but after her boat capsized 11 times, she was forced to issue an SOS. Soon after she returned to the U.S. she spoke to Inside Edition about her journey. In 1999, Murden did become the first woman and first American to row solo across the Atlantic. #InsideEdition

This September, Australians are being encouraged to find out more about dementia during Dementia Awareness Month, to elevate awareness about dementia and the impact on people living with dementia and their carers and families. Those impacted report that their experience is often isolating and studies show a high level of stigma toward people living with dementia.
As part of this event filled month, Alzheimer’s Australia will host a public lecture series given by international guest speaker Professor Steven Sabat, entitled Forget Memory Loss – what about the person?
Prof Sabat is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Georgetown University, USA. For the past 35 years, he has studied the cognitive and social abilities of people with Alzheimer’s disease in the moderate to severe stages.
His writing includes the forthcoming book, Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia: What Everyone Needs to Know and The Experience of Alzheimer’s disease: Life through a Tangled Veil.
Prof Sabat will present on:
• Monday 11 September, Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, Brisbane
• Tuesday 12 September, Parliament House, Canberra by invitation only
• Wednesday 13 September, Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney
• Thursday 14 September, ZINC, Federation Square, Melbourne
Alzheimer’s Australia will host a number of events as part of Dementia Awareness Month. The full calendar of events with links to activities across Australia can be viewed here.
The theme of Dementia Awareness Month this year is You are not alone and across the country, Alzheimer’s Australia will communicate the following:
• To people living with dementia, their families and carers – there is support and services available to you from Alzheimer’s Australia and other organisations
• To the general public – over 70 per cent of Australians admit that they know very little about the dementia and almost half of the population do not realise that it is fatal.1 Dementia impacts everyone and we can all play a part in giving people living with dementia the opportunity to remain engaged with their community and lead meaningful lives
• To healthcare professionals – there is education and support available to you to assist the people you work with in managing the day-to-day and big picture challenges that dementia can bring
Dementia Awareness Month 2017 is supported by financial assistance from the Australian Government.

Notes to media:
Stories in the media about dementia may prompt concerns or cause distress for audiences and readers. When writing or talking about dementia, please encourage your audience/readers with the number for our National Dementia Helpline 1800 100 500, a free call, telephone information and support service available across Australia.
What is appropriate language for talking about dementia and why do we need it?
The words used to talk about dementia can have a significant impact on how people with dementia are viewed and treated in our community. In particular please avoid the use of the word sufferer or suffering – the preferred language is a person/people living with dementia.
Please read our Dementia Language Guidelines that have been developed by people living with dementia and carers.

Dementia affects nearly 50 million people across the world, but that figure is expected to rise in the next ten years to 75 million and to 150 million by 2050.
As part of the awareness week, we’ll be hearing stories from islanders and looking at the support available to those with the condition and their families in Jersey and Guernsey.

When Olive was told she had vascular dementia, like many people, she didn’t know what that meant. But she knew it was affecting her ability to find the right words, and that people struggled to understand why. She and her husband Ronnie reflect on what the future might hold.
The different diseases that cause dementia devastate millions of families around the world in different ways. We’ve teamed up with Ricoh to lift the lid on dementia. Learn more at alzres.uk/DementiaUncovered

Frontotemporal dementia is the name for a range of conditions in which cells in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain are damaged. These lobes control behaviour, emotional responses and language. This means that people will experience changes in personality and behaviour, or may struggle with language – for example, in finding the right word. Frontotemporal dementia is a less common form of dementia which is more likely to affect younger people – those under 65.
