Jordan and Cian Adams, who are on a mission to run 32 marathons in 32 days to raise money to help fight dementia, will be running in County Roscommon tomorrow. They have already run in County Leitrim and Longford.
Going to every county in Ireland, Jordan and Cian, known as the , aim to raise awareness and funds for ‘Early-Onset’ Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). They are completing the marathon challenge in memory of the 12 Irish relatives they have lost to FTD, including their grandmother, aunt, and mother Geraldine, who died from the disease aged 52.
The brothers have been diagnosed with a rare gene that causes the condition, meaning they have a high chance of developing dementia in their 40s.
