About Dementia
Dementia is the second leading cause of death of Australians.
Dementia is the leading cause of death for women.
There are an estimated 487,500 Australians living with dementia. Without a medical breakthrough, the number of people with dementia is expected to increase to 1.1 million by 2058.
There are an estimated 28,800 people with younger onset dementia, expected to rise to 29,350 people by 2028 and 41,250 people by 2058. This can include people in their 30s, 40s and 50s.
It is estimated that almost 1.6 million people in Australia are involved in the care of someone living with dementia.
Approximately 70% of people with dementia live in the community.
More than two-thirds (68.1%) of age care residents have moderate to severe cognitive impairment.
Bondi2Berry
This event is supporting The Dementia Research Community in Australia and their annual Bondi2Berry bike ride.
The Dementia Research Community brings together dedicated people with a common goal – to raise awareness of dementia, and to fundraise to help find a cure. Originating with the Bondi2Berry Ride to Remember in 2016, they have raised over $1 million AUD to help with research.
Bondi2Berry is a challenging, yet beautiful ride – 155 kilometres (96 miles) in distance, and elevation of 1,700 metres (1 mile).
Starting at the North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club in Sydney, the ride heads through the Eastern Suburbs and travels through parts of the Royal National Park to Wollongong and Kiama before finishing in Berry on the NSW south coast.
Richard Thornton
Richard Thornton is an Australian singer/songwriter, musician, Twitch streamer and content creator.
In 2022, Richard held his first stream in support of Bondi2Berry and raised over $3,000 AUD. This year Richard’s inaugural Stream to Remember hopes to more than triple this total.
