Two brothers taking part in a marathon challenge for dementia research have smashed a £1 million fundraising target ahead of Cavan tomorrow as they travel across Ireland.
Jordan and Cian Adams 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 are running 33 marathons in 33 days, the FTD Brothers, from Redditch, Worcestershire, had set a target of raising £1 million before they develop symptoms.
And they now look set to reach that figure by tomorrow as they take on marathon number 11 in Cavan tomorrow morning from 10am.
People are being encouraged to show their appreciation for the great work the lads have been doing and come out and support the lads outside Cavan bus station.
Speaking to Northern Sound last Friday while they took on Monaghan, Jordan said the support has been just amazing.
