Why We Fight...
Since 1987, BRACE has been funding pioneering research into Dementia. We exist because we know that there is a cure, and that a future without Dementia is within our reach... But we need your help. Dementia research receives less than 30p for every £1 given to Cancer research, but with your support we can fund more breakthroughs and bring the world a cure.
The number of Brits living with Dementia right now. That's more than the population of Bristol, Cardiff and Bath Combined.
People died from Dementia last year. That makes it the UK's leading cause of death, costing more lives than than Cancer, Heart Disease and Strokes
Of people in the UK will develop Dementia in their lifetimes, and half of all Brits will be impacted by it.
We know that the 'why we fight' stories shared may feel painfully familiar. But there is hope… We are closer to a cure than ever before. A message from BRACE CEO, Chris Williams.
The Why We Fight campaign shares powerful dementia stories. This campaign is about more than three stories. It’s about the millions who see themselves reflected in them.
