Brothers at risk of dementia raise £150k in run

Two brothers who are at risk of developing dementia in their 40s have raised more than £150,000 by running the length of the UK.

Jordan and Cian Adams ran from John O'Groats to Land's End in 31 days, finishing on Tuesday.

The siblings, both from Redditch, Worcestershire, have inherited a rare faulty gene which can lead to frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which they discovered after their mother died with the condition in 2016.

On day 29 Jordan posted a video on Instagram of them running against 50mph winds and rain during the challenge, appealing for donations.

"It's through all these tests that you have to remember why we're doing this, why we're running so many miles each day," he said.

"We're doing this for a cure, to raise awareness of Alzheimer's and Dementia," he added.

The money they have raised will go to Alzheimer's Research UK.

The brothers have documented each day of their running challenge on social media, which has been filled with positive comments, describing them as "heroic" and "inspirational".

"Watching you each and every step of the way. And I’m utterly amazed at your strength and determination," one comment said.
