Brothers Run London Marathon with Fridge for FTD Awareness

Brothers Jordan and Cian Adams completed the London Marathon carrying a 55-lb fridge, a striking visual to draw attention to frontotemporal dementia (FTD). This endeavor is part of their ongoing efforts to fund research and raise awareness for the devastating neurodegenerative disease that affects personality, speech, and mobility.

Their motivation stems from the loss of their mother, Geraldine Adams, who died from FTD at age 52. Genetic testing revealed that both Jordan and Cian have a nearly 100% chance of developing the disease, with symptoms expected to begin in their mid-40s. They established the FTD Brothers foundation in 2025, aiming to "make as much of a racket as possible" with their time.

Through their foundation and a significant social media presence, the brothers have garnered over 1 million followers and raised approximately $4 million. Jordan, who left his design job to become a full-time advocate, plans future challenges like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Cian, a physical therapist, supports their work, including aiding Jordan's recovery from their demanding challenges.
