Two brothers taking part in a challenge to run 33 marathons across Ireland to raise funds and awareness for dementia are in Kildare today for their 32nd marathon.

They are taking part in this challenge after their mother Geraldine passed away from Frontotemporal Dementia, a rare genetic condition that both brothers may carry.

Jordan & Cian Adams are 2 of 3 siblings who grew up in the small town of Redditch, Worcestershire and are attempting the challenge.

Known as the FTD brothers, they began their 32nd marathon in Kildare Town earlier today.

The Kfm news team visited the start point of the marathon and spoke to family members and others attending the run.
