Sir Jackie Stewart's Battle Against Dementia for His Wife

Sir Jackie Stewart shares his wife's dementia journey and his charity efforts.

Motor racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart has opened up about the heart-wrenching experience of his wife's dementia. His wife, Lady Helen, was diagnosed in 2014. Sir Jackie has founded Race Against Dementia to fund a new dementia blood test. He describes the changes in her behavior and language as 'horrendous'. The charity hopes to detect signs of the disease decades before it develops. Dr Maura Malpetti is leading a study looking at frontotemporal dementia. Sir Jackie emphasizes the need for a cure and hopes his efforts will make a difference.
