Brothers Run 32 Marathons for Dementia Awareness

Brothers Jordan and Cian Adams are undertaking an extraordinary challenge: running 32 marathons in 32 days across Ireland. This immense effort is dedicated to raising funds and awareness for frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a devastating condition that has deeply impacted their family. Their mother, Geraldine, was diagnosed with FTD in 2010 and passed away in 2016 at the age of 52.

Both Jordan, now 30, and Cian have learned they carry the same genetic mutation responsible for their mother's illness. This mutation carries a 99.9% probability of developing FTD, likely in their mid to late 40s. Their family has tragically lost 12 relatives to the disease, prompting their return to Ireland to honor their heritage and support others facing similar struggles.

Through their GoFundMe campaign, the brothers aim to provide hope and educate the public about FTD. They are determined to use their time actively, raising awareness and striving to change the future for families affected by dementia. Their efforts highlight the urgent need for research and support for this rare neurological disorder.
