It's time to change the future for all children with dementia

We can’t change what happened to Thomas.

We can’t give him back the words he lost. Or the future that should have been his.

But we can ensure families coming after ours aren’t alone like we were.

That is why I ask you to please join with us and support Childhood Dementia Initiative’s tax appeal.

Every dollar you give goes directly to:

• The right care, where and when it’s needed
• Ensuring no family walks this road alone
• A future with hope, treatments and answers

With gratitude and hope,
Jack (pictured here with Thomas)

It's time to change the future for all children with dementia

"When you hear ‘dementia’, you picture old age. You picture grandparents.

You don't picture a child.

You don't picture someone losing words they have just learned. Forgetting how to walk to a room they've lived in their whole life. Losing the ability to chew. To swallow. To recognise the brother who used to chase them around the backyard.

But that is what childhood dementia is. A progressive, relentless, and at the moment untreatable, brain decay that begins in childhood." 
- Jack, Thomas's big brother
