Through Strides, 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.
When you set up a team or a personal fundraising page you can share it with all your contacts via email and social media. Teams who raise $1,000+ by Friday, August 20th at 11:59pm Eastern time will be able to have their loved one's name included on the participant t-shirt. Please note, registration fees do not count toward the $1,000+ to have your loved one's name included on the participant t-shirt.
Note: Team fundraising pages are made up of individual fundraising pages. The amount an individual raises counts toward his or her team's total. You can either create a team or join an existing team (or register as an individual).
