FTD Brothers' Marathon Challenge for Dementia Research

0:00On April 27, Jordan and CN Adams, the FTD brothers from Reddich, just smashed their fundraising after the London marathon. Jordan ran the full 26.2 miles, hauling a 25 kilogram fridge on his back, while both brothers face a 99 percent chance of frontal temporal dementia in their 40s due to a family gene. Their GoFundMe has now topped 450,000 pounds. They're not stopping there. Pushing their goal to 550,000 pounds with a massive challenge ahead, 32 straight marathons. Across Ireland over the next 32 days. This run honors 12 Irish relatives they've lost to the disease, kicking off right after London as a launch pad to spread their story wide. Back in 2010, their mom Geraldine got diagnosed at 47 and passed at 52 in 2016. Jordan was 15, CN, just 9, and that flipped their world, knowing they're living on borrowed time. Jordan's turning 31 soon, CN, 26.

1:02The brothers are blown away by the support, calling it a huge relief after years of sharing their tale. Their family has raised 800,000 pounds since their mom's death, just 200,000 shy of a 1 million pound dream in her name. With crowds cheering and momentum building, these brothers are racing the clock not just for funds, but to fuel research that might re-write their future.
