A convoy of pink and white cars is setting off across regional WA to raise awareness about young-onset dementia and funds to bring their unique program to regional areas, with a goal of raising more than $100,000.

Press PLAY to hear Brett Parker discuss the regional drive for young-onset dementia support

Dementia Foundation co-founder Brett Parker is so committed to the Drive 4 Dementia program that he has donated $50,000 of his own money.

He told 6PR Mornings host Chrissy Morrissy that no one else is offering this program, which is desperately needed in regional areas.

“We’re looking to the future. Our strategies are all about how we support our communities, not just for this year, but for the years ahead,” he said, adding that there is a lack of skill and resources in dealing with dementia in the regions.
