More than 70,000 British Columbians are living with dementia. Nearly 10,000 of these British Columbians are baby boomers under the age of 65. In 2011, the first wave of baby boomers turns 65 yet findings from a recent survey of our population’s largest age group revealed a startling lack of awareness about the disease, warning signs, and risk factors.
If nothing is done, the prevalence of dementia in British Columbia will more than double in just one generation. There is hope if we act now.
Donate now to research to find the causes and cures for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. Support the families already on the dementia journey, ensuring they have access to education and information.
