Dementia is the leading cause of death in Australia. Over 433,300
Australians are living with dementia and an estimated 1.7 million
people are involved in caring for someone with dementia. Dementia
doesn’t discriminate. This year around 29,000 Australians are
estimated to be living with younger-onset dementia, including
people in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Tully Smyth lost her mum to
younger-onset dementia in 2019 and now Tully is an ambassador for
Dementia Australia. In this very important episode, we speak
with Tully about her mum. Tully shares about her memories with her
mum before her diagnosis, the small things Tully and her family
started to notice in her mum’s behaviour, and slowly losing her mum
over 17 years. Plus Tully shares about her own risk of developing
dementia, how that risk changes the way she lives and thinks about
her future with her partner, Ned. FIND OUT MORE You can find our
