Good Luck to Andrew and the Team - Riding 500km for Alzheimer’s Research Australia!

Tomorrow, Alzheimer’s Research Australia Ambassador Andrew Lester and a group of dedicated riders will set off on an incredible 500 km jet ski challenge, raising vital funds and for research.

This ride is deeply personal, inspired by Andrew’s father and the many families affected by Alzheimer’s disease. His passion and energy have already inspired countless supporters, helping push the team well past their initial goal and towards a new target of $15,500. Over the past two years, their efforts have raised more than $20,000 in total for dementia research.

Every dollar donated goes directly to Alzheimer’s Research Australia, supporting groundbreaking work into early detection, prevention, and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. All fuel and expenses are covered by the riders themselves , so every contribution truly makes a difference.

We’d like to recognise the incredible people and businesses making this ride possible. Riders: Ricky, Kevin, Dan, Josh, Dave, Steve, Alex, Dimitri, Adam, Kane, Sally, Jon and Joe. Support crew: Mark and his daughter Liz, who will be driving alongside the riders for the entire journey.

💜 Let’s get behind Andrew and the team! Donate today and help them reach their goal. Follow the link to donate - https://lnkd.in/gemay-zH

Together, we can make Alzheimer’s a distant memory for future generations.
Good luck, Andrew Lester and team, we’re cheering you on every wave of the way!

Thank You, Niall!

Alzheimer’s Research Australia would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Niall for his incredible fundraising efforts in support of dementia research.

Motivated by a passion to make a difference, Niall not only shared a powerful message about the importance of protecting the mind, but he also went above and beyond, raising more than $7,000 to advance our research into Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

His creativity, enthusiasm, and community spirit, including his bold decision to go pink after surpassing his fundraising goal, have inspired us all.

Every dollar raised helps drive discoveries that bring us closer to earlier detection, better treatments, and ultimately, a cure.

Thank you, Niall, for your generosity and for standing with us in the fight against dementia.

World Alzheimer’s Day – September 21

This year’s World Alzheimer’s Month invites all of us to do something simple but powerful: Ask About Dementia. Ask About Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s disease remains the most common form of dementia, now the leading cause of death in Australia. It is progressive: memory, thinking and behaviour gradually change, and daily life becomes harder.

In 2025, we have seen encouraging treatment advances. We are also witnessing new research pushing the frontier in early diagnosis, prevention, and biomarkers, tools that may help us spot Alzheimer’s before symptoms emerge.

But a breakthrough isn’t enough without awareness. Misconceptions and stigma still prevent many from seeking help early, from asking questions, and from accessing support. This is why asking matters.
It opens a door to diagnosis, to care, to hope.

At Alzheimer’s Research Australia, we are committed to world-class research into prevention, early detection, and treatment. We believe every conversation, every question, every donation, and every person involved moves us closer to better outcomes, and ultimately a cure.

You can join this effort. Ask about dementia. Support research. Participate in studies. Share your voice. Together, we can build understanding, change perceptions, and move forward, because with research, there is hope.

Dementia has become the leading cause of death for women in Australia, yet it remains a topic rarely discussed. In a recent episode of The Aging Project, host Shelley Craft spoke with Professor Ralph Martins, AO, one of the world’s foremost Alzheimer’s researchers, to explore what’s really happening in our brains as we age.

For many women, memory changes during perimenopause can raise questions: Is this normal, or could it signal something more serious?

This vital conversation sheds light on the unique risk factors women face and highlights the latest advancements in testing and treatment, offering essential insight for anyone approaching menopause.
