In loving memory of Jim Gaughan

We Stride in Honor of Jim

We are walking in honor of Jim Gaughan! Jim was an incredible husband, father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, deacon, and friend to so many. Jim was a huge Cubs fan and loved watching them win the World Series in 2016. Jim was a one of a kind person who will never be forgotten. We stride in his honor and in hopes for a cure!

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.
