For two British brothers facing a near-certain future of neurodegeneration, a dream invitation to Wimbledon’s iconic Royal Box was more than a VIP experience — it was a chance to build tangible, lasting memories that their loved ones will cherish long after symptoms of their genetic condition set in. Thirty-one-year-old Jordan Adams and 25-year-old Cian Adams carry a rare MAPT gene mutation that gives them a 99.9% chance of developing frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a cruel, incurable brain disease that already claimed their mother Geraldine at 52 in 2016, and has killed 12 members of their mother’s Irish family.
