CJD took our beautiful Mom, Shirley Rassieur, from us at the very young age of 70 in 2005. Back then, we had no idea what Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD) was other than hearing about "Mad Cow Disease" - the variant form of CJD. We've learned a lot over the past 15 years thanks to the CJD Foundation. The support and education we found the CJD Foundation has helpful us deal with our loss and has also allowed us to be able to share our story and support other families world-wide whose loved ones have been strickened by this always fatal, unrelenting infectious prion disease.
Please consider donating or registering for our team - Shirley's Striders - so that the CJD Foundation can continue to provide support, education and reasearch for a cure of monsterous disease.
