All proceeds from gate receipts will be going to charity with Sir Jackie Stewart’s Race Against Dementia being the main beneficiary and two local charities will also benefit.

“I am delighted to hear that Race Against Dementia will be receiving some of the proceeds from this year’s Bo’ness Hill Climb. When Helen, my beloved wife of more than 60 years, was diagnosed with dementia, I was horrified to realise that nothing could be done. More than 55 million people worldwide are currently living with dementia. This is a disease which, as I know only too well, devastates families. Race Against Dementia is funding outstanding Early Career Researchers from around the world and giving them training to become leaders in their fields. We want to beat dementia-faster! Thank you for joining the RACE!”

Sir Jackie Stewart, OBE

Race Against Dementia (RAD) was established by Sir Jackie Stewart, OBE following his wife‘s diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia. Sir Jackie was horrified to discover that there is currently no cure for dementia, a disease which devastates the lives of so many families.

Over 55 million people worldwide now live with dementia. Unless something is done to prevent or cure this dreadful disease, one in three people born today will die with dementia. Every three seconds someone is diagnosed with dementia. This crisis cannot continue.

RAD supports early career researchers in many different aspects of dementia research. There are currently RAD Fellows based in the UK, Australia, the US, Europe and South Africa.

Each of these scientists is part of the RAD Leadership Programme which gives them a range of skills training aimed at encouraging them to think outside the box and become leaders in their respective fields. RAD wants to accelerate work in this field and drive significant breakthroughs in dementia research.

"I am now facing one of the biggest challenges of my life and will put all my efforts into finding a cure for this horrendous illness" - Sir Jackie Stewart, OBE
