LEST WE FORGET
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Dementia Australia Research Foundation is marking 25 years of supporting Australia’s best emerging researchers with the release of its More than a Cure: 25 Years of Impact report.

“It’s predicted that the number of Australians living with dementia will approach 800,000 in the next 35 years. However, with continued commitment and support from researchers and donors, by the time we get there, we hopefully will be closer to a medical breakthrough and, ultimately, a cure,” Dementia Australia Patron Ita Buttrose AC OBE said.

The report highlights just some of the more than 380 game-changing research projects that have advanced because of more than $31 million from the Foundation over the past quarter century.

These projects have enhanced our understanding of dementia at a cellular level and have developed models of care that are improving life for people living with dementia and their carers.

"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.
There was a pause.
"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.
"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."
"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.
"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.
"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.
"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'lI always be here for you, Pooh."
And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs. He thought that his best friend had never been more right.

Make time for you🫵
