"A golden age"

Forgive my repeating this if you’ve already read it, but it’s just too good to miss!

When The Post (formerly the Bristol Evening Post) interviewed Professor Seth Love at the end of last week, he said two really important things. First, that he believes dementia research in Bristol to be entering a “golden age”. Second, that none of this would be happening were it not for BRACE. It’s well worth reading the full article.

Seth Love is a senior figure in Bristol University and in dementia research. Furthermore, while being independent of BRACE, he advises our Trustees on scientific matters and knows well what the charity does. He is therefore well qualified to say what he did.

This isn’t about the charity feeling smug and wanting everyone to say how wonderful it is. Something more important (and far less annoying) is apparent here. It means, first, that the research that is happening in this region is growing in importance and effect. It also means that everyone who has helped BRACE is making a difference in the global fight against dementia.

If you ever wondered whether it was worth running that marathon or helping at that cake stall, now you know!
