Fundraising for the CJD Foundation

The Family of Ross Abelow

In Loving Memory of Ross Abelow

Ross Abelow was a one-in-a-million. And he was struck with a one-in-a-million disease. Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a terminal neurodegenerative disease that strikes only 350 people a year in the U.S. CJD’s devastating symptoms and lightning speed trajectory leave lasting impacts on the families it affects. Our goal is to honor Ross’s exceptional life by funding research into remedies that can slow, reverse, and, maybe someday, prevent this disease from impacting others. Your generous support is much appreciated.
