A local woman said it was a "privilege" to support the FTD brothers who ran a marathon in Co Cavan today.
Mildred Morton is from the Cavan branch of the Alzheimer's Society of Ireland.
Mildred described the two brothers as "extremely brave" and hopes that the money raised will go in the right direction towards important research to make a real difference in the future.
The Cavan branch of Alzheimer's Ireland is a committee that runs popular initiatives like the Forget Me Not café which is on the first Wednesday of every month and the Forget Me Not choir.
She spoke to Ronan Gargan on the Wider View.
