18 SEPT 2024 IS CHILDHOOD DEMENTIA DAY

Thousands of children are suffering and dying slowly from dementia. 

Most will die before they turn 18, some in infancy.

One of the biggest problems: most people don't know childhood dementia exists.

As a result, children & families are being left with no cures. Many report finding it exhausting and isolating fighting for support & understanding. 

Kids with dementia don't have time on their side.
They need cures. They need to be seen. They need action now.
That's why we're FACING it to make childhood dementia impossible ignore.

Make your face colourful

You can use face paints, but if you don't have any, try using what you have. Eyeliner, lipstick, eyeshadow, stickers, colourful face masks: these will work too.
