Turning a personal story into a movement for brain health
In 2018, Alzheimer's disease entered Hassan Fadli's family.
Confronted with limited awareness, persistent stigma and missed opportunities for prevention, one conviction emerged:
Raise awareness. Inspire action. Drive change.
Today, more than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide, a number expected to nearly triple by 2050.
Yet:
-
up to 45% of dementia cases may be delayed or prevented
-
family caregivers remain largely unsupported
-
brain health is still underestimated
The five Ironman races were never about sport alone.
They became platforms to bring together people living with dementia, caregivers, researchers, healthcare professionals, institutions and citizens around one common goal.
Advancing brain health.
