This initiative of the Basque public radio station tries to raise funds every year for different charitable causes, with Alzheimer's research being the one chosen for this year. Thus, the employees of TESA ASSA ABLOY decided that the company should allocate the lunch money to this charitable objective, being for some of them one of the driving forces behind the EITB Maratoia 2021.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. There is currently no cure, but there are treatments for the symptoms which, although they cannot stop the progression of the disease, can slow the worsening of symptoms for a time and improve the quality of life of sufferers and their carers. Work is currently underway around the world to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset and prevent its development.
