Wednesday 23 September is Childhood Dementia Day. One day, twice the impact.
In Australia, 2 babies are born every week with one of the genetic conditions that cause it. These children gradually lose skills, words and memories they’ve only just gained. Their families watch them fade away while the world keeps moving forward. Somewhere in the world, childhood dementia takes a life every 11 minutes.
Childhood Dementia Initiative is working to change what happens to the families impacted by childhood dementia: pushing for health, disability and care systems that understand childhood dementia, driving research and standing alongside every family while building supports around them.
Tomorrow is Childhood Dementia Day and their message is simple: We Can’t Wait. On Wednesday 23 September, every donation will be doubled, dollar for dollar, up to $150,000 thanks to the Hooper Shaw Foundation.
Their time is short. Your impact isn’t. Please show your support.
