Jordan and Cian Adams, known as the ‘FTD Brothers,’ are taking on an extraordinary challenge this September. They will run the entire length of the UK, from John O’Groats to Lands End, covering 903 miles in 31 days. This journey is to raise awareness and funds for dementia research, a cause deeply personal to them. They’re running to #findacure after both receiving news in 2018 & 2023 that they are carriers of the genetic fault thus, meaning they will 100% inherit symptoms of FTD most likely in their early 40s and tragically lose their lives to the disease at a younger age than most.

Sandwich carers left £1,546 out of pocket this summer as the cost of care rises 💰 Sandwich carers are those who have both child and elderly dependents. With elderly care costs rising by 8% in the past year, the financial and caregiving pressures are pushing many carers toward a crisis. These growing burdens are significantly increasing the risk of mental health challenges, including burnout, stress, and anxiety. Over the past three months, there has been a sharp increase in carers seeking online support. Here’s what we know: 📈 200% surge in searches for ‘respite care for family caregivers’ 📈 100% increase in searches for ‘taking care of elderly parents’ 📈 100% rise in searches for ‘respite care near me’ With an estimated 1.3 million sandwich carers in the UK, representing 4% of the workforce, it’s no surprise that demand for respite care is increasing. Seniorcare by Lottie is committed to helping employees who also look after an elderly loved one find and fund care, including care at home and in a care home. For advice on how to support carers in your workplace, reach out to Seniorcare by Lottie at seniorcare@lottie.org 📩 #caregivers #carers #thankslottie

Meet Jordan and Cian Adams, also known as the ‘FTD Brothers’ 🧠 After their mom’s diagnosis of early-onset dementia in 2010, Jordan, Cian & family cared for her for over six years until she sadly passed away in 2016. After her passing, they learned that each of them had a 50% chance of inheriting the faulty MAPT gene, which causes the type of dementia that has affected not only their mom but also their aunt, nan, and many other relatives. In 2018 and 2023, the siblings decided to undergo genetic testing. Unfortunately, Jordan and Cian discovered that they are carriers of the gene, meaning they will inevitably develop symptoms of FTD, likely in their early 40s, and tragically lose their lives to the disease at a younger age than most. Since their diagnosis, they have embarked on a mission to create their own legacy and make a difference. They’ve been raising funds and awareness through various running challenges to support groundbreaking research in the hope of finding a cure for dementia. So far this year, the brothers have completed the London Marathon and run 100 miles in 24 hours. In September, they will take on a 903-mile, 31-day journey to run the entire length of the UK from John O’Groats to Land’s End. It was great to speak with both brothers about their life and what the future holds. Keep an eye out for more videos of their journey leading up to their big run! 🏃🏃 To support their fundraising efforts, please donate at https://lnkd.in/eeKFUsjF #ftd #findacure #dementia #running
