Jordan Adams, one of the FTD Brothers, has made a film for Alzheimer’s Research with actor Brian Cox CBE. 

Jordan (aged 29), along with his brother Cian (aged 24), are known as the FTD Brothers having publicly shared how their mum died from frontotemporal dementia aged 52, and how they both carry a rare inherited gene that means they will develop dementia symptoms in their 40’s.
