Behind every kilometre
Many people don't realise young onset dementia can affect people under 65, often while they're still living active lives.
Your contribution helps us bolster the number of trained teams to deliver dementia support programs and to offer pathways to regional doctors, nurses, and other critical health professionals.
To keep my family's faces fresh in my mind, I carve their portraits into boab nuts. I hope The Dementia Foundation can bring the support our communities need.

Building Connections:
Alister McRae
We’re proud to welcome a new supporter to the Drive4Dementia journey, Alister McRae. For those who may not know, Alister comes from one of motorsport’s most legendary families and is a championship winning rally driver.
Our paths crossed completely unexpectedly, but Alister quickly understood what we are working to achieve and and supported our cause straight away.
Having someone of Alister’s experience and standing in motorsport behind Drive4Dementia means a lot. His support is helping us reach a wider motorsport community, raise greater awareness of young onset dementia and encourage more people to join the journey.
And that is what this drive is all about. Bringing people together through a shared love of the road and motorsport, while using that journey to create something meaningful for people living with dementia and the families who support them.

Every journey has a starting point
Ours began with a clear purpose: to improve the lives of people living with dementia and the families who support them.
For younger people, dementia can arrive at a stage of life when they may still be working, raising children, supporting a family, managing a mortgage and planning for the future.
Their needs are very different from those traditionally associated with dementia and aged care.
The Dementia Foundation works to bridge that gap through practical support, community connection, education, advocacy and services designed around the individual.
What started as a commitment to provide better support has continued to grow into something much bigger. And that brings us to Drive4Dementia.
Every kilometre matters to rural and regional communities, where access to specialists can be limited and diagnosis may
be delayed or mistaken, affecting access to appropriate care pathways.
As we travel across WA and beyond, we do more than simply bring services and awareness to regional areas, we’re helping build local capability so regional and remote areas can better support their own, communities now and into the future.
