Dementia Heroes: Brothers Awarded Freedom of Hometown
27 Aug
Summary
- Brothers awarded freedom of their hometown for fundraising.
- They raised over £2 million for dementia research.
- The brothers have a genetic risk of developing dementia.
Brothers Jordan and Cian Adams have received the Freedom of Redditch, their hometown, for their exceptional fundraising achievements.
The siblings have raised approximately £2 million for dementia research, a cause deeply personal to them. Their mother, Geraldine, passed away at age 52 after being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
Tragically, 12 other relatives have also succumbed to the same condition. Both Jordan and Cian have discovered they possess the gene that predisposes them to FTD, facing potential onset in their 40s.
Their impressive fundraising involved completing the London Marathon, followed by an arduous challenge of 32 marathons in 32 consecutive days across Ireland.
