Great golf should be unforgettable, but sadly for millions of people living with dementia worldwide, this isn’t the case. Around 55 million people globally have dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common form.
This is the forgotten crisis.
The Alzheimer’s Society provides help and hope for everyone living with dementia, supporting people living with dementia through some of the hardest and most frightening times.
