This devastating hereditary condition has already claimed the life of their mother and 12 other family members. Determined to make a difference, the brothers have raised over £500,000 to support research, awareness, and families affected by FTD. Their courageous efforts are shining a light on a disease that remains little understood by the public and medical community alike.
