The stories - Why we Fight

We know that the stories shared here may feel painfully familiar. Whether it’s a grandparent, parent, sibling, friend, or the fear of what the future may hold for our children and grandchildren, this condition spares few of us.

But there is hope. Recently, we’ve seen real progress in dementia research.

In 2024, the first Alzheimer’s drugs that actually treat the disease were licensed for use in the UK.

This year, BRACE is funding 24 vital research projects, searching for more answers. With your help, we could fund even more!
