The FTD Brothers: Inspiring the world

Jordan Adams and his brother Cian have completed 33 marathons in 33 days, raising money and awareness for frontotemporal dementia, capturing the hearts of millions.

The brothers, who grew up around Astwood Bank and played for Pershore Town FC, have clocked up nearly £2million of fundraising for research in to the disease, which took the life of their mother Geraldine and will almost inevitably affect them in their lives as well.

Geraldine was from Ireland, which prompted her sons to take on the challenge of running a marathon, per day, in each county of Ireland - alongside Jordan running the London Marathon immediately before with a fridge on his back.

Reflecting on an epic month, Jordan tells Malcolm Boyden about how his family are already in talks with the Irish government having brought incredible awareness for dementia, particularly in young people, whilst their next steps include a holiday for him and his wife, a half marathon in Sarajevo and then climbing Mount Kilamanjaro.
