The FTD Brothers

About this episode

Jordan and Cian Adams are running 33 marathons around Ireland to raise awareness and funds for dementia research after losing their mother to the disease.

Jordan & Cian Adams are running 33 marathons around Ireland to cure dementia before it takes their lives like it took their mothers' life. Both brothers carry a rare genetic mutation that gives them a 99.9% chance of developing frontotemporal dementia (FTD) the same illness that took their mum, Geraldine, at just 52. Instead of standing still, they’ve turned that reality into action… running across every county in Ireland to raise awareness and funds, and already smashing their £1 million target Because this is about more than miles - it’s about giving a voice to families affected by dementia Hosted on Acast.
