Story
Today, 50 million people around the world have dementia. Unless a cure is found, one in three people born today will die with dementia.
A new person develops dementia every three seconds. This crisis cannot continue.
Sir Jackie and Lady Stewart married in 1962. Helen is now in a battle with dementia. 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.
Race Against Dementia is driven to raise money to fund breakthrough and innovative dementia research, providing new pace and thinking in the search for prevention or treatment of the diseases that cause dementia.
Goodwood is proud to announce that Race Against Dementia is the official charity partner for the 2022 Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard. Please help us to beat this horrendous disease.
