A BBC Breakfast guest was emotional as he told how he and his brother want to create a 'legacy that can outlive our time on Earth'08:34, 28 May 2026Updated 08:37, 28 May 2026A BBC Breakfast guest broke down in tears amid a bid to raise funds before he gets the disease that took his mum's life.‌Jordan Adams' mother, Geraldine, was diagnosed with familial frontotemporal dementia (FTD) when she was 47 and died at 52 in 2016.‌After genetic testing, Jordan and his brother Cian learned that they also carry the gene. Jordan has a 99.9% chance of getting FTD, previously sharing on the BBC programme: "It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when."‌The siblings, known as the FTD Brothers, have taken on 33 marathons in 33 days to raise money, and Jordan was emotional as he paused along the route to thank the people supporting them."This isn't just about my family," he said, crying. "It's so much bigger."‌The 31-year-old went on: "I'm just so glad that the world has finally woken up to dementia because for so long it's felt like no one's been listening. And I'll never, ever be able to thank you, guys, enough for the impact you helped me create. I can't, I can't tell you."I made the ultimate sacrifice to quit my job two years ago to do this. You have conversations with your peers who are the same age as you. You're trying to tell them that I'm going to get dementia in the next 10 to 15 years, and they don't believe you. They don't believe you."I've seen it. It's going to happen if nothing changes."‌Jordan said the support had given him "some hope". "You've given other families hope, so, from the bottom of my heart, from all of my whole family, thank you so much," he added.He continued: "This is just the start of what we hope is a legacy that can kind of outlive our time on Earth before FTD gets us in the next 10 to 15 years."Article continues belowDuring his previous appearance on the BBC programme, Jordan told the show's hosts, Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty, that the brothers had set themselves the goal of raising £ 1 million in honour of their mum."We're on a mission because we have a clock kind of ticking against us, and we want to make as much of a difference in the next 10, 15 years that we have and the time that we have left," he explained.BBC Breakfast airs on BBC One from 6am.
