The Lewy Body Society was founded in 2006 to support research into Lewy body dementia and to raise awareness of the disease. We aim to educate the public, the medical professions and those in decision-making positions about the disease, which unfortunately is still not well known.

Do your bit and support a really important cause! Lewy Body dementia affects mobility and can cause hallucinations in people, and has numerous other symptoms. These vary from Alzheimer's disease dementia, and care needs to be personalised to the individual. But let's not forget the many family carers providing vital care and support to their relatives,. Cares often get forgotten but need to be supported in their own right. that's why I'm running the great North Run for the Lewy Body Society - to raise awareness and raise really important funds to try and improve care for those affected by LBD. So please support a good cause :)
