Today, 50 million people around the world have dementia. Unless a cure is found, one in three people born today will get dementia in their lifetime. A new person develops dementia every three seconds. This crisis cannot continue.
Founded by Formula 1 racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart, Race Against Dementia is driven to raise money to fund breakthrough and innovative dementia research.
A new pace and thinking in the search for a treatment or cure.

All about dementia
Lady Helen and Sir Jackie have been married for 56 years, but Helen is now in a battle with dementia. Since her diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia, Helen's short-term memory is failing, 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 on the top is now confronted by a disorder currently with no cure.
Her battle has inspired Sir Jackie to create Race Against Dementia.
