Dementia, the most common cause of which is Alzheimer’s disease, affects one in fourteen people over the age of 65, increasing to one in three of those in their nineties. There is currently no cure and often the condition is diagnosed after significant brain damage has already been done,which makes early diagnosis vitally important.

Thank you for your support and good luck!
