A Licence to Live: My Race Against Dementia

There's hope in every mile.

What would you do if you got the worst news? Jordan Adams has faced that moment and turned heartache into hope. Discovering he was the carrier of the gene that caused his mother’s early death from Frontotemporal Dementia, Jordan set out to change the way we see this devastating disease.

Together with his brother, Cian, Jordan has been running for change, for awareness and for funding for research: the length of the UK, international marathons and even the London marathon with a fridge on his back. Now he’s captured the hearts of a nation running 32 consecutive marathons in each county of Ireland, in honour of his heritage and the relatives lost to this battle. With over £1.6 million raised already, it’s a campaign that’s changing lives.

This is the astonishing story of a family’s fight against dementia, a frank, honest and inspiring journey to build purpose out of pain. It’s about endurance, love and living life on your own terms. It’s the race Jordan Adams is running every day of his life in his mother’s name – to create change, build a legacy and show us all that each day matters.
