We exist to beat dementia

Dementia is a devastating disease impacting millions.

Unless something is done, 1 in 3 people born today will die with dementia

We want to live in a world with preventions and cures for dementia.

Friends of Race Against Dementia was founded to raise funds in support of dementia research and is recognized as a 501(c)(3) Public Charity.

We make grants to Race Against Dementia, a charity registered in England, Wales and Scotland which was founded by three times Formula 1 World Champion, Sir Jackie Stewart.

Race Against Dementia is a charity inspired by the speed and innovation of Formula 1. They fundraise to support and fund dementia research across the world.

They select dynamic and driven dementia researchers and equip them with funds, expert mentors and a unique F1 inspired training and development programme to help them accelerate dementia research.

Every donation to Friends of Race Against Dementia propels us forward, helping to fund critical dementia research. Together we will strive to live in a world with preventions and cures for dementia.
