Man Runs Marathon With Fridge for Dementia Charity
23 Apr
Summary
- Jordan Adams is running the London Marathon carrying a fridge.
- He is raising funds for his charity to increase dementia visibility.
- His mother had early-onset Frontotemporal Dementia.
Jordan Adams, from Redditch, is undertaking the demanding 26.2-mile London Marathon, uniquely burdened by carrying a fridge. His goal is to raise funds and visibility for dementia through his own charity. This feat is part of a larger pattern of extreme challenges completed by Jordan and his brother, Cian, known as 'The FTD Brothers.'
Together, they have previously conquered endeavors such as running the length of Great Britain and completing seven marathons in seven consecutive days. These efforts have collectively raised hundreds of thousands of pounds. The brothers' motivation stems from their personal experience with dementia.
Their mother, Geraldine, was diagnosed with early-onset Frontotemporal Dementia. Her health declined, and she passed away in 2016. Furthermore, the brothers learned that Frontotemporal Dementia is hereditary, meaning they face a significant risk of developing the condition themselves later in life.
