'Why I'm running with a fridge on my back'

Available for over a year

Jordan Adams, from Redditch, is taking on the 26.2miles of the London Marathon, raising money for the charity he set up, to make dementia more visible. Alongside brother Cian, the family are no stranger to taking on epic challenges, including running Land's End to John O'Groats and seven marathons in seven days, making a difference in the hundreds of thousands of pounds, as The FTD Brothers. Jordan and Cian's mother Geraldine was eventually diagnosed with 'early-onset' Frontotemporal Dementia, whose health deteriorated before passing in 2016. The brothers also discovered the condition was hereditary and that they had a very strong chance of also inheriting the same Frontotemporal Dementia later in life. Jordan tells Tammy Gooding about his latest epic, running another marathon, this time with a fridge on his back. Image credit: FTD Brothers
