The FTD Brothers - racing the clock against dementia fateClose60

BBC Sport speaks to Jordan and Cian Adams, the 'FTD Brothers'. After the 2026 London Marathon, which Jordan will run carrying a 25kg fridge, the pair will sprint across all 32 counties of Ireland in just 32 days. They are running in memory of their mum, Geraldine, who died of a rare form of dementia at just 52. Having both tested positive for the same gene, the brothers are racing to find a cure before their own symptoms begin.
