In Honor of Jim

We are walking to honor Jim Gaughan who is deeply missed everyday by so many. Jim was an amazing father, brother, cousin, friend, son, Deacon, Cubs fan, and would have been an amazing Grandfather to his grandsons Jimmy, Vinny, and Dawson. Jim was known for his gigantic heart, contagious laugh, and generosity.

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.
