We, the undersigned, do ask the Government to think about spending much more money on research into dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. Currently, per cancer patient, nearly £290 is spent on cancer research, yet only £11 per dementia/Alzheimer's patient is spent on research into this cruel thief of a disease. This is appalling! It makes one feel as if they should be ashamed of having the disease! Please, Mr Prime Minister, we urge you and the Cabinet to seriously consider this petition. Let's stamp out dementia. Those with the disease have nothing to be ashamed about. Please give them the dignity they deserve and after all, they have the same rights as anyone else who have diseases that are researched into. Thank you.

The momentum we have built makes it impossible for the Prime Minister to ignore our demand for dignity. This government has neglected the victims of this disease for far too long while hoarding resources elsewhere. We are finally forcing them to confront their shameful lack of funding.

Cruel disease that affects so many families. The government needs to wake up and start funding this properly for once.
