National President Ita Buttrose |
In 2012 that will increase to almost 280,000 people with dementia and 1,600 new cases each week. Alzeihmer's Australia is urging the government to create a Dementia Action Plan to address the dementia epidemic set to hit Australia.
I have had a family member affected by Dementia and I know how important it is to have support, to help the affected person and their family.
We definitely need more awareness and support systems in place to tackle the issues that we face, as the number of dementia cases increase.
Here is a video on Dementia and what it means:
I have signed up as a Dementia Champion to show my support in helping fight Alzeihmers. If you want to become a Dementia Champion just sign up here http://www.campaign.fightdementia.org.au/
