Description:

Jordan & Cian Adams, known as the FTD Brothers, join Ger, Enda & Dara on the show in the midst of their 33-day challenge, running a marathon every day as they travel the country.

The lads are fundraising for the FTD Brothers Foundation CIC & Alzheimer Society of Ireland. Their Irish mother, Geraldine, was diagnosed with ‘Early-Onset’ Frontotemporal Dementia in 2010, sadly passing away in 2016, at the age of 52.

The two boys have tested for a genetic fault/mutation of the MAPT gene, meaning they would also develop the same illness as their mother.
