CJD

CJD is a rare, untreatable and devastating disease that sadly does not have enough research and funding.  I had personally never heard of this disease before it took the life of my cousin's husband in just weeks from diagnosis at the age of 59.  On October 9, CHRIS' Crusaders- Hitting CJD Where It MERTZ, will be walking at the Strides for CJD.

Please help our team raise money to support in further research.

About Strides for CJD

Strides for CJD is an annual walk/run to raise awareness of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare neurodegenerative disease that has no treatment or cure. Through this event, anyone -- anywhere -- can pay tribute to their loved ones and raise funds for the CJD Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization.

Funds raised support our programs including:

  • Our 24/7 helpline, support groups, conference, and other family programs throughout the year.
  • Research grants to help scientists make important discoveries and bring us closer to a cure.
  • Medical education to help raise awareness and understanding of prion disease.
