On 30 March 2019, Karin Westerlund represented Alzheimer Sweden at an annual event held by Swedish fan-club ACDC Machine, at the Generator Hotel in Stockholm. The night was a celebration of legendary AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young, who sadly passed away with Alzheimer´s disease (AD) at the young age of 64, in 2017. Malcolm Young founded AC/DC with his brother Angus, in 1973 and 30 years later, in 2003, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ms Westerlund (pictured, with members of ACDC Machine), who is also a Board member of Alzheimer Europe, was invited as a guest speaker. She gave a short presentation about the ongoing work of Alzheimer Europe and joined the gathering for the evening thereafter. The programme included a series of rock-performances, including one from American artist Nikki Hill, and an auction was held to raise funds to help people living with AD. Approximately SEK 10,000 (around EUR 1,000) was donated to support the work of Alzheimer Sweden. This is the third donation the association has received from ACDC Machine.
