🧠 During 𝗙𝗧𝗗 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, we are shining a spotlight on the inspiring advocacy of Jordan and Cian Adams, better known as The FTD Brothers.

Earlier this month, we had the privilege of speaking with the two for an upcoming interview in our 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘦. Through The FTD Brothers Foundation, they have turned their personal experience with FTD into a powerful mission to raise awareness, support families and advocate for change.

As a small teaser ahead of the full interview, which will be published in the February 2027 edition of our magazine, we are sharing one of the many thoughtful reflections they offered during our conversation.

We would like to sincerely thank Jordan and Cian for taking the time to speak with us and for sharing their insights.

👉 In the meantime, we encourage you to learn more about their work and the FTD Brothers Foundation: https://theftdbrothers.com/
