In this special episode of It Can’t Just Be Me, Anna Richardson sits down with radio and TV presenter Sian Welby, along with special guest Jordan Adams. Both Anna and Sian share their experiences of having a parent living with dementia, while Jordan offers a deeply moving account of how dementia has affected his family after his mother was diagnosed at just 47, when he was only 15. Following this, he underwent genetic testing and learned that he has inherited the faulty gene that caused his mother’s illness, meaning he is likely to develop frontotemporal dementia at a similar age. Jordan discusses his journey, the ways he copes, and his incredible efforts to raise funds and awareness to help change the future for everyone impacted by dementia.
