Understanding the Challenge

Tragically, hundreds of thousands of children across the world suffer from dementia. 

In Australia, a baby is born every 3 days with a childhood dementia disorder from which they will die. Half of these children die before their 10th birthdays; 70% before they reach adulthood. Before dying, children experience devastating decline. 

Until now, childhood dementia has been largely unseen and ignored. Research, support and policy are lacking, and as a result, children and families face extraordinary challenges that demand attention and support.

Your participation is more than an event attendance—it brings hope and meaningful change.

Join us to change the world for kids with dementia

We invite you to be part of a compassionate community dedicated to supporting children with dementia and their families.

Tickets: $290 + booking fee (until 31st January 2025; then $320+bf).
