My name is Michelle Davey and I am currently raising money for STRIDES FOR CJD. As many of you may already know, my husband, Rick, passed away from CJD in October 2022. CJD, or Creutzfeldt Jakob's disease is a fatal neurodegenerative prion disease. As we navigated through this terrible disorder, we leaned into the support of family, friends, and the CJD Foundation. There is no cure for CJD and it is currently 100% fatal.
I are raising money this STRIDES walk in hopes for better research, better future treatment options and to spread awareness of this very rare condition. There is not a big organized walk in our area, so please, if you are able, come STRIDE 4 RICK with me on October 21st. This is just me and YOU, my family and firends.
The plan- We will meet at 8:00 am, Saturday, October 21st at Coffeeville on Brookfield Road. We will walk for about an hour utilizing the new paved path that starts there. Please wear purple for CJD Awareness.
Love you all!
Michelle Davey
