Huge crowds were seen in Cavan this morning as local people came out to support the FTD brothers.

The brothers have been diagnosed with a rare gene which causes frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which means they have a high chance of developing dementia in their 40s.

Their mother Geraldine died at the age of 52 after developing FTD.

They were hugely supported in Cavan this morning as they took off on marathon number 11 outside Cavan bus station.
