Janni Ahlgren, daughter and supporter to her father Stefan Eriksson, who was until recently a member of the European Working Group of People with Dementia, has received an Alzheimer Life Scholarship from HRH Queen Silvia of Sweden. Janni and Stefan have been fighting to remove stigma and to increase knowledge about Alzheimer's disease and dementia for seven years and have been dementia ambassadors at national and European level, speaking to policymakers, researchers and students and participating in feasibility studies for various research projects, among others. Janni has edited films on their travels and tried to spread them to inspire people to continue living as well as possible for as long as possible. Janni is an ambassador for the Swedish Alzheimer's Foundation and continues to fight alongside them. "Being selected by a jury and being recognised in this way means so much to me and my family. Thank you so much to everyone involved", said Janni.
