Race Against Dementia was established by Sir Jackie Stewart OBE following his wife, Helen’s diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia. Sir Jackie was horrified to discover that there is currently no cure for dementia, a disease which devastates the lives of families.
Our vision is to win the race against dementia by accelerating global research towards a breakthrough cure with the utmost urgency.
We back the best teams – ones making tangible progress in dementia research.
We provide catalyst funding, enabling research fellows to pursue groundbreaking ideas – ideas less likely to receive mainstream funding.
We instil a Formula 1 attitude of accuracy and urgency to hasten the pace of development.
We form strong alliances with research centres of excellence worldwide.
