How could drugs for other conditions help treat or prevent dementia? “Research into the possible benefits of repurposing drugs doesn't tend to be something that's traditionally picked up by industry". said Dr Susan Kohlhaas, Executive Director of Research and Partnerships at Alzheimer’s Research UK. “It is therefore important Alzheimer’s Research UK helps fill that gap by investing in the things that could make the difference as quickly as possible for people.” Read more here. 👇  https://lnkd.in/dxChEMmA

Harleyford Golf Club in Buckinghamshire recently organised a golf day in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK. Rob Marsh, Managing Director of the club said, “It is a golf day but one that is not just about the golf, it is about the charity, it is about seeing each other, making memories, and having lots of fun." Rob chose to support Alzheimer’s Research UK because both his grandmother and mother have been diagnosed with dementia, making our mission close to his heart. Rob added: "With Alzheimer’s disease, we lose the person we love a lot earlier, but the shell of that person is still with us, confused, fragile, and not the person that we remember from times before.” Regional Fundraising Officer Jess Jenkins worked closely with Rob and the Club in the lead-up to the event. Everyone involved was delighted with how well the day went with people’s generosity meaning over £120,000 was raised for dementia research from the event! Thank you so much everyone for standing with us, we’re so grateful for all your support. 🧡 If you would like to join Harley Ford Gold Club and many others in golfing #ForACure then please click the link below. https://lnkd.in/eYawnRVA

Since owner James' Dad passed away in 2012 from Alzheimer's disease, the incredible teams at ShredBank and Knockbracken Fuels in Northern Ireland have raised £50,000 #ForACure. They host a monthly 'shredathon' in their local shopping centre where the team spends 2 hours of their time volunteering to shred the local communities' important documents in exchange for a donation. They've also integrated it for customers so they can donate through Knockbracken Fuels too! Thank you to everyone at Shredbank and Knockbracken Fuels for their support in helping us change the ending for everyone affected by dementia. 🧡 Find out how your business can support us through fundraising in the workplace at https://lnkd.in/eda9WTyz

“People would say, are you alright? Or they'd say, would you like to come round for dinner? Or would you like to go out for a drink? And I'd say, no, I'm not really feeling up to it. Well, actually, the answer is no, I'm not feeling up to it at all. I don't want to do it because I've got dementia.” Veteran broadcaster Alastair Stewart and his wife, Sally, open up about what their lives have been like since his diagnosis of vascular dementia. We’re so grateful to have Alastair and Sally standing with us #ForACure.
