Overview
- Jordan Adams finished the London Marathon carrying a 25 kg fridge on his back to make the weight of dementia visible.
- He then began running 32 marathons in 32 days across Ireland’s 32 counties, with the route set to end in Dublin on May 28.
- The FTD Brothers Foundation and a GoFundMe have raised more than £590,000 toward a £1 million target.
- Half of the proceeds from the Ireland challenge will go to the Alzheimer Society of Ireland, and the campaign also supports Alzheimer’s Research UK.
- Jordan, 30, and Cian, 25, carry a MAT‑T gene mutation linked to a roughly 99.9% chance of early-onset frontotemporal dementia, which killed their mother at 52 and at least 12 other relatives.
