My Personal Fundraising Page

My name is Denise Chainey and I have been fighting to raise awareness for CJD since 2017. Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a rare neurodegenerative disease that has no treatment and no cure. It can be genetic or sporadic. In 2017, we learned that CJD is genetic in our family. Imagine your loved one going to the doctor for something as generic as muscle stiffness and finding out they have an incurable disease that will most likely take them from you within a month. It is unfathomable!

That is why we fight; we fight to raise awareness of this horrific disease; we fight to support families caring for a patient with prion disease; we fight to make a difference in the battle against CJD; we fight to find a cure, but we cannot do it alone, we need your help. Please consider making a small donation so that no family will ever go through the pain of losing a loved one to CJD. Your donation, no matter how small, helps fund grants for those trying to develop a cure. And finding a cure is very important not only to my family but to everyone.

Thank you.

Denise Chainey

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:

  • 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.
