Alzheimer’s Disease is responsible for the majority of the cases of Dementia, and it has been described as the epidemic of the 21st century. It is all around us but still our knowledge of it is very limited. In this programme we are going to give a voice to those at the forefront of the battle against the disease. People living with it and the families of some of those diagnosed will tell their stories. We will also have the opportunity to hear from those trying to understand the illness, such as Professor Brian Lawlor, a world leading expert in dementia. And Dr Michelle Kelly a dementia specialist who helps people with dementia live as independently as possible.

Music in the programme is from the Forget Me Nots choir – http://forgetmenots.ie/
