Today, more than 55 million people around the world are living with dementia. Unless a cure is found, one in three people born today will die with dementia. A new person develops dementia every three seconds and it is anticipated that by 2030 the global societal cost of caring for dementia patients will exceed US$2.8 trillion. This crisis cannot continue.

All about dementia
Sir Jackie and Lady Stewart married in 1962, Helen is now in a battle with dementia. Since her diagnosis, Helen is struggling with her memory and the disease is taking hold of her mind and body. Helen was Jackie’s stopwatch: the love of his life and a razor-sharp mind that timed his laps to the millisecond. The woman who once kept Jackie at the top is now confronted by a disease currently with no cure.
Her battle inspired Sir Jackie to create Race Against Dementia.
