Race Against Dementia

Race Against Dementia (RAD)

Motor racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart was the focal point of a stunning fundraiser held at Centrepiece, Melbourne Park on Friday night, April 8, 2022 for his Race Against Dementia charity, established in honour of his wife, Lady Helen Stewart – herself a dementia sufferer. The challenge posed by event committee was to convince 600+ people to pay $500 per seat to be part of a charity auction event to raise money for dementia research – all pro-bono with zero expenses and in the shadow of COVID 19.
