The youngest son of motor racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart has revealed how dementia has robbed his mum of her most precious memory – the day he was born.
Mark Stewart said that whenever Lady Helen, 82, was asked to share a favourite story, it was never about the glitz and glamour of motor racing or her friendship with The Beatles, Sean Connery or even the Royal Family. Instead, she loved to talk about her dramatic dash to hospital before Mark’s birth. But now she has no memory of what happened.
And Mark said watching his mum’s struggle is what drives him to support Race Against Dementia, the charity set up by his father to find a cure and new treatments for the disease.
