ππ‘π ππ«π’π§ππ π¨π πππ₯ππ¬ has written a special letter of support to brothers ππ¨π«πππ§ & ππ’ππ§ ππππ¦π¬ who are running 33 marathons to raise funds for dementia research
Jordan and Cian, nicknamed the FTD Brothers were diagnosed with a rare gene that causes early-onset frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Jordan, 30, is running 33 marathons in 33 days to raise funds and awareness for dementia, with help from his brother Cian, 25.
β Taking on such a demanding challenge, to honour your motherβs memory and raise awareness of frontotemporal dementia, speaks to your remarkable strength.
You are inspiring people far beyond those who stood along the marathon route here in London, and those who will no doubt be cheering you on along the roads of Ireland.
It takes great courage and generosity to turn such personal adversity into hope for others. By sharing your story so openly, you are helping to change the understanding of dementia and giving countless families strength, comfort, and a sense that they are not alone.
I hope you are both proud of all you have accomplished so far and wish you both every success for the road ahead. β
