F1 great Sir Jackie: Lady Helen lives in 'new world'
Scottish Daily Express
|April 08, 2025
FORMULA 1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart has said his wife Helen is living in “a new world” as her dementia continues to worsen.
Lady Helen, 84, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2014, which inspired three-time F1 world champion Sir Jackie to found his Race Against Dementia charity.
It is through that initiative that he is helping to fund a new trial at the University of Cambridge which hopes to spot signs of the disease in people many years before it ever begins to have an effect.
Dementia
In the years since her diagnosis, Lady Helen's dementia has steadily progressed.
Sir Jackie, 85, has revealed that just a few weeks ago, for the first time, his wife of more than 60 years forgot who he was.
