This is Jordan Adams. Jordan is 29 and has just completed the London Marathon with a fridge on his back. ❤️
Why? Because we are all carrying something. And we don’t have to carry it alone.
Almost £300,000 has already been raised!
Jordan was just 15 when his mum was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia.
No understanding. No roadmap. Just watching the person he loved slowly disappear. For six years, his world became caring, grieving, and trying to make sense of something that never made sense.
Losing her piece by piece… and then losing her completely at 52. In that same room where they were first told she had FTD, his life changed again.
Jordan learned he had a 50% chance of inheriting it too. The fear broke him at times. But on the 12th September 2018, it became real. He tested positive for the MAPT gene.
He will develop the same dementia in his 40s. Jordan then suffered with Depression. Intrusive thoughts. Feeling like his future had already been written. But what saved him was people.
People who helped him carry the weight when it felt unbearable. And that’s what this is about.
This marathon with a fridge on his back isn’t just a challenge. It’s a symbol.
Because that’s what it feels like sometimes - like you’re carrying something heavy that no one else can see. He completed the marathon to make dementia visible.
But more than that… to show everyone that whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone.
