The Initiative
It all began with a father’s request to his son. Living with Alzheimer’s disease, Hassan Fadli’s father asked him to take action. That request sparked a personal commitment that grew into a collective journey.
Five Ironmans in five countries became a journey to meet people living with the disease, family carers, healthcare professionals and researchers.
From this experience, 5 Ironmans Beat Alzheimer (5IBA) was born: a movement that brings together sport, science and storytelling to raise awareness, promote prevention and change how we think about and respond to Alzheimer’s disease.
🎬 IRONMINDS
