Two brothers who are taking part in a marathon challenge across Ireland for dementia research will complete their 32 county challenge this afternoon.
Jordan and Cian Adams, who are known as The FTD Brothers, began the challenge on 27 April in Co Antrim.
It saw them run a marathon a day for 32 consecutive days across the 32 counties of Ireland.
Jordan, 31, and his 25-year-old brother Cian have been told they have the rare gene which causes frontotemporal dementia (FTD), meaning they have a 99.9% chance of developing the condition as early as in their 40s.
They are completing the challenge in memory of 12 Irish relatives they have lost to FTD, including their mother Geraldine, who died from the disease aged 52, their grandmother and an aunt.
Jordan ran the London Marathon on 26 April while carrying a 25kg fridge on his back, before travelling to Ireland to complete this challenge.
The brothers are hoping to raise awareness, spark conversation, and show others facing similar diagnoses that there is still a way forward.
They will complete their 33rd marathon this afternoon when they cross the finish line in Merrion Square Park in Dublin, accompanied by their sister Kennedy.
They have so far raised €1.7m for the Alzheimer Society of Ireland and The FTD Foundation.
