Join our team to help raise money for CJD!

In 2018 my father-in-law became ill and quickly declined.  Doctors didn't know what was wrong, we just knew that the man we knew and loved was suddenly not acting like himself.  Very quickly he was not even able to speak to us. For the entire duration of the illness we still did not know what was causing these strange symptoms.  It wasn't until nearly the final stages of the illness that we received confirmation that these symptoms were being caused by CJD, which is incurable.

This is a horrible illness and we lost a very good man to it.  We continue to try to raise money in order for the CJD Foundation to continue to do research and hope there is a cure one day.

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.
