Sir Jackie Stewart is on a mission to find a cure for dementia, following his wife’s devastating diagnosis. The Scottish racing legend set up Race Against Dementia in 2014 after Lady Helen, 82, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
Sir Jackie said: “Formula 1 teams are relentless in their drive to succeed – collaborating to achieve a common goal. It’s a mindset and work ethic we believe can be applied to a team of dementia researchers. I hope these new dementia research teams will speed up progress and get results.” Mark Stewart said whenever his mum was asked to share a favourite story, it was never about the glitz and glamour of motor racing or her friendship with The Beatles, Sean Connery or even the Royal Family. Instead, she loved to talk about her dramatic dash to hospital before Mark’s birth. But now she has no memory of what happened.
“She used to love telling the story about how on the day I was born there was a storm and a tree had fallen on the road and they had to climb over the tree to get to hospital. Individuals can join by funding Sir Jackie’s research team – every backer, every pound raised making its mark. The RAD Teams Programme fuses industries, resources and collective action to enable breakthroughs in dementia research – faster.
