My name is Victoria Ellis. Together with my husband, Matt, we started the Strides for CJD Boston event in 2017 in memory of my mom, Rosanne. We continue to participate in Strides for CJD Boston each year in my mom's memory. My mom was a one of a kind mother, wife, sister and friend. Her contagious laugh, fun-loving spirit, and dedication to her family are painfully missed every day but never forgotten. She is loved, cherished and remembered always by those who were lucky enough to know her. 

Thank you for your support of Team Rosanne and the CJD Foundation. I am proud to raise funds for research and raise awareness of prion disease, the cruel disease that took my mom's life far too soon, and has impacted so many other families.

Strides for CJD is an annual walk 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, to provide family support, medical education and research programs.
