My Dad, Gary Turner, had a passion for life. He never felt his age. At 68 years old he was still very active and living life to the fullest. He started having symptoms that concerned him so he sought medical help at his primary care doctor and then emergency room visits and hospital stays at two different hospitals over the course of two weeks. After having a spinal tap done the results came back 98% positive for CJD. Eighteen days after diagnosis he passed away. Before his diagnosis no one in our family or anyone we knew had ever heard of this rare disease. This disease moves so rapidly we did not know just how fast it would happen. We hope to raise awareness for CJD in his honor so that other families can be helped to prepare sooner and to help find a cure. We love you Dad.

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.
